Provided are an image display method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a medium, which relate to the field of computer technologies, in particular to the fields of cloud phones, cloud computing and cloud services. The specific implementation scheme is as follows: generating a simulated external display of a cloud device according to an acquired target resolution of a target client; and generating frame buffer data according to a frame buffer area of the simulated external display in the cloud device, and sending the frame buffer data to the target client so that the target client performs image display on a target interface according to the frame buffer data. Therefore, the effect of adapting the client resolution can be achieved without regenerating a cloud device, the waiting time of the user is reduced, and the use experience of the user is improved.
