Here's some counterpoints to the elephant image I posted:

I have aphantasia as well, and find this picture interesting but I don't really imagine an elephant like this. No words, descriptions etc. I'd just imagine the idea of an elephant don't really know how to explain it. I'll just know what it is without consciously thinking of these words or phrases. Saw someone else on this subreddit refer to it as Invisible Imagery. Similar to how I've heard people who can visualise imagine things, but just... without the visualization. Hope this made sense

Oh weird, I don't think in terms of visual characteristics at all. I mean I can explain what it looks like if I have to, that process is more akin to rote memorization than actual conceptualization.

But when I think of something like an elephant I would think about the sound it makes, it's feeding habits or ecosystem, behaviors, etc

So yeah, this varies greatly from person to person.
