Problems serving images from public folder, currently linking them externally

Tried using %PUBLIC_URL%/ but it's not working...

Have you seen these two parts of the Create React App docs?

https://create-react-app.dev/docs/adding-images-fonts-and-files
https://create-react-app.dev/docs/using-the-public-folder

In JS it's usually better to import image files to get their final URLs. If you have to use the public folder you can access the location on process.env.PUBLIC_URL
