How to disable image files from displaying in Chrome?

• In the Image section, select Do not show images.

• Click on OK to validate. You will now no longer see photos on Chrome. If the setting is not updated, close all current Chrome tabs and reopen Chrome. To revert back to your previous settings, follow the above instructions and select Show all images instead. 

Is there an extension that blocks Chrome images?

If you prefer to use an extension, then you can do that. One of the best extensions is ImageBlocker, which is slightly easier to implement than the standard Google Chrome settings. ImageBlocker hides or unhides images on any given webpage with the click of a button.
