I am using Overleaf V2 and just received the following error message:

No Bounding Box Error Message

This topic has been dealt with here: No BoundingBox error message

But I am new to this and don't understand how to check the eps information they refer to there. I have png and jpg image files contained with a folder "Pictures". The error comes up for both file types.

Here is my preamble:

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{
    includeheadfoot,
    top = 20mm,
    left = 25mm,
    right = 20mm, 
    bottom = 30mm,
    bindingoffset = 5mm,
    }


\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}


\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}


\lhead{LCA}

\rhead{Daniel Wilkinson}

%% The font package uses mweights.sty which has som issues with the

Here is how I add a picture:

\begin{figure}[ht]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[scale=0.7]{Pictures/DAC_system.jpg}
    \caption[ddfsdfsdasd \cite{fasihi2019techno}}
    \label{fig:AdsorptionD}
\end{figure}

I really appreciate your help!

  • Most bitmap images have no reliable information about their natural size. Just use a width (or height) instead of a scale to include them, as \includegraphics[width=0.9\linewidth]{mypicture.jpg} which will use 90% of the current line width for the horizontal size. – Rmano May 24 '21 at 10:05
  • is that true for jpeg and png? – Daniel W May 24 '21 at 10:10
  • You can use width and/or height with any graphic type that is supported by \includegraphics. Normally eps and pdf files have a natural size, though, so scale works, but I always recommend using the width or height and to state it proportionally to the linewidth or absolute depending on the use case (i.e., you can also say [width=4cm] if this is what you want. – Rmano May 24 '21 at 10:13
  • Thank you @Rmano – Daniel W May 24 '21 at 10:21
  • Exactly which engine are you using here? It is listed in the overleaf settings for your project. This error is typically seen with jpg or png when using the latex engine instead of the normal pdflatex engine – daleif May 24 '21 at 11:30
  • How are you typesetting the document? Are you using latex or pdflatex? – Herb Schulz May 24 '21 at 11:30
  • I'm using Pdflatex – Daniel W May 24 '21 at 11:51
