When using the Webflow API to update images on your website, there are a few limitations and requirements to keep in mind. These considerations ensure that the images you use are compatible with the Webflow platform and adhere to certain standards for optimal performance and functionality.
Limitations for image sources in the Webflow API:
- Supported image formats: Webflow supports the most common image formats, including JPEG, PNG, and GIF. It's always recommended to use these supported formats to ensure compatibility and best possible performance.
Requirements for image sources in the Webflow API:
- File size: Webflow has a maximum file size of 32MB for images. It's important to ensure that your images are within this limit; otherwise, you may encounter issues when uploading or updating them through the API.
- Image dimensions: Webflow doesn't impose specific size restrictions for images, but it's advisable to use images with optimal dimensions for your website's design and layout. It's best to resize and optimize your images before uploading them to the Webflow platform to ensure faster loading times and a better overall user experience.
- Secure image URLs: When updating or adding images through the Webflow API, it's crucial to provide secure image URLs that start with "https://" instead of "http://." This is necessary to ensure that your website is secure and that the images are delivered over a secure connection.
- Accurate image URLs: To update images through the API, you need to provide the accurate and complete image URLs, including the domain name and the file path. Double-check that the URLs you use are correct to avoid any issues.
Ensuring that you meet these limitations and requirements will help you seamlessly integrate images into your Webflow website using the API. By following these guidelines, you can optimize your website's performance and user experience with the images you use.
