Clearing Your Browser Image Cache In Chrome And Firefox

If you’ve recently updated and republished a page but don’t see the changes when you revisit it, your browser may be loading cached images and files. Clearing the image cache can quickly resolve this issue and display your latest updates.


Step 1: Clear Image Cache in Google Chrome

  1. Open Google Chrome on your computer.

  2. Click the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the browser window.

  3. Hover over History and then click History again in the submenu.

  4. On the left side, click Clear browsing data.

  5. In the dialog box that appears, check only the box labeled Cached images and files.

  6. Leave all other options unchecked if you only want to clear the image cache.

  7. Click Clear Data to confirm.

  8. Once cleared, revisit your page — your most recent updates should now appear.


Step 2: Clear Image Cache in Mozilla Firefox

  1. Open Firefox on your computer.

  2. Click the Settings (gear) icon in the top-right corner of the browser.

  3. In the left sidebar, click Privacy & Security.

  4. Scroll down to the Cookies and Site Data section.

  5. Click Clear Data.

  6. In the dialog that appears, uncheck Cookies and Site Data (so you remain signed in).

  7. Keep Cached Web Content selected.

  8. Click Clear to remove cached files.

  9. Visit your page again — your updated content should now be visible.


Step 3: Verify Your Page Updates

  1. After clearing the cache, reload your page by pressing Ctrl + F5 (Windows) or Command + Shift + R (Mac).

  2. Ensure that your recent design or content updates now appear correctly.


And that’s it! You’ve successfully cleared your browser image cache in Chrome or Firefox. This simple action helps ensure you always see the most up-to-date version of your pages after making changes.
