To find and remove duplicate images on your Webflow site, and determine on which pages they are being used, you can follow these steps:

  1. Backup your site: Before making any changes to your site, it's always a good practice to backup your site. This way, you can restore it if anything goes wrong.

  2. Download your site's assets: Export your site's assets using the Webflow export feature. This will give you a zip file containing all the images used on your site.

  3. Sort and analyze the images: Unzip the downloaded file and create a new folder to separate the images from the rest of the exported assets. You can use image analysis tools like Duplicate Image Finder, Visipics, or Image Comparer to identify duplicate images. These tools compare the visual content of images rather than just file names or sizes.

  4. Inspect Webflow pages: Open each page of your site in the Webflow Designer or Editor and examine the image elements used. Look for duplicate images by comparing the filenames or by visually inspecting the images.

  5. Replace duplicate images: Once you have identified the duplicate images, replace them with a single copy. To do this, upload the single copy to the asset manager in Webflow. Then, go through each page that uses the duplicate image and replace it with the single copy.

  6. Update image references: After replacing the duplicate images, review each page to ensure that the correct image is being displayed. Update any references or links to the duplicate image with the new single copy.

  7. Publish your changes: Once you have completed all the necessary updates, publish your site to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you will be able to find and remove duplicate images on your Webflow site and determine on which pages they are being used. This not only helps optimize your website's performance by reducing unnecessary image duplicates but also improves the overall user experience.
