Yes, images from external locations like a Flickr album can be added to a Webflow site without having to manually upload them. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Find the image URL: Go to your Flickr album and locate the image you want to add to your Webflow site. Right-click on the image (or use the share button) and select "Copy Image Address" or similar. This will copy the URL of the image to your clipboard.

  2. Add an image element to your Webflow site: Go to the Webflow Designer and navigate to the page where you want to add the image. Drag and drop an "Image" element onto the desired location on the page.

  3. Set the image source: With the image element selected, go to the right-hand panel and click on the "Image" tab. In the "Image Settings" section, paste the URL you copied from Flickr into the "Image URL" field. Webflow will automatically fetch the image from the external location.

  4. Customize the image: You can further customize the image using the options available in the Image settings panel. These options include adjusting the image size, applying effects, adding alt text for accessibility, and more.

  5. Publish your changes: Once you have added and customized the image, publish your Webflow site for the changes to take effect and for the image to appear on your live site.

Using this method, you can add images from external locations like a Flickr album to your Webflow site, saving you the hassle of manually uploading each image individually.
