Try using service like mailtrap.io to debug this.

image not showing in email
I have this in resources/views/vendor/mail/html/header.blade.php
<tr>
<td class="header">
<a href="{{ $url }}">
<img src="{{ asset('/photos/icon.png') }}"/>
</a>
</td>
</tr>
When the email was sent, the image is just broken but it shows the image when I click the source localhost:8000/photos/icon.png

Hmm, weird. I just tried it in mailtrap and it showed the images.

localhost:8000 will only show the image for you since it's well, local.
You can set the URL the asset function will use in your environment file under ASSET_URL.
It's explained in the documentation under /helpers#method-asset.
Hope that helps. 🙂

Huh, it's showing in mailtrap but not in gmail.

Gmail could have a restriction on localhost URLs, most likely through a content policy of some kind.
Level 7
It could be.
I saw a thread regarding this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20836911/images-not-displayed-for-gmail
The thread was made 6 years ago so it flew off my head and thought gmail already changed the policy.
