To customize the image URL in Webflow and display it in your desired format, you can follow these steps:

  1. Prepare your desired image format: Before uploading the image to Webflow, make sure you have the image in the format you want it to be displayed. For example, if you want the image to be displayed as a circle with a transparent background, edit the image to achieve that effect using image editing software.

  2. Upload the image to Webflow: Once you have your desired image format ready, go to Webflow and navigate to the Designer. In the Assets panel, click on the "Upload" button to upload your image. You can either drag and drop the image file or browse and manually select it from your computer.

  3. Select the image element: In the Designer, locate the element where you want to use your customized image. This could be an image element, a background image, or any other element that utilizes an image. Click on the element to select it.

  4. Set the image source: With the element selected, go to the settings panel on the right-hand side of the Designer. Find the "Image" or "Background Image" settings, depending on the type of element you have selected. Click on the "Choose Image" button and select your uploaded image from the Webflow Assets panel.

  5. Customize the image URL: Now that you have the image selected, you can customize the URL to display it in your desired format. To do this, click on the "Image Settings" icon (represented by a gear/cog) next to the "Choose Image" button. In the Image Settings modal, you'll find options to adjust the fit, position, size, and other properties of the image. Use these options to achieve your desired image format.

  6. Publish your changes: Once you have customized the image URL to your liking, click the "Publish" button in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer to make your changes live on your website.

By following these steps, you can customize the image URL in Webflow to display images in your desired format. Remember that the original image file will remain unchanged, and Webflow will create a new URL for the customized version.
