I suggest you to try something like that
Just put your Images in Public Directory (public/images_folder).
Let's suppose I stored images in public/images/Cloudways_logo.jpg.
View
<img src="{{url('/images/myimage.jpg')}}" alt="Image"/>

How to access public path image
I tried a couple solutions that I've seen here and stackoverflow but nothing works. I am rendering html content directly from a controller for pdf generation, and in that html I need to access an image from my images folder under public path.
How can I get this right?
This is what I have right now that does not work and no error is shown.
public function convert_customer_data_to_html(){
$customer_data = $this->get_customer_data();
$output = '
<td><img height="50" src="asset(/imageslogo-1.png)" alt="Image"/></td>
'

This will give a syntax error
syntax error, unexpected 'png or jpg'
And I assume I cannot use blade inside a php file since this is being done in the controller.

Are you using any specific package for generating the PDF?

Ok, I think you should be able to use the public_path() helper in that case:
<img height="50" src="public_path('imageslogo-1.png')" alt="Image"/>
This will expand to the real path to the image file on your server's filesyste,

I dont understand how you manage your code. Why dont you use Blade for this ?

public_path() will provide you with the path directory upto the public folder. You can then concatenate your filename as shown below. {{ public_path().'/imageslogo-1.png' }} Hope, this helps you.

Expecting images are in images directory :
$output = '
<td><img height="50" src="' . url("images/imageslogo-1.png") . '" alt="Image"/></td>
'
