Images in SVG Image tags not showing up in Chrome, but displays locally?
PaulLeBeau's answer is right. But another solution is to use an embed tag instead of an img tag for the picture.
<embed src="svg.svg">
Here are some ways to embed svg images in HTML.
Another solution that worked for me is, open SVG image in any editor (Vs code or Notepad++) and replace
xlink:href="data:img/png;base64,
to
xlink:href="data:image/png;base64,
img to image.
Hope this helps if someone is still looking for it.
