Yes, it is possible to upload different images for desktop and tablets/mobile devices when using a CMS multi-image field in Webflow. With Webflow's powerful visual responsive design features, you can easily specify different images for different device breakpoints. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Create a multi-image field in your CMS: First, go to your CMS collection settings and add a multi-image field to store the images. This field will store all the images you want to use for different devices.

  2. Upload images for each breakpoint: Start by uploading the images you want to use for desktop. Then, for each subsequent breakpoint (tablet and mobile), upload images specifically tailored for those devices. It's important to note that you can upload multiple images for each device breakpoint.

  3. Set up visibility settings for each device breakpoint: After you have uploaded the images, you can set up visibility conditions in your Webflow project to show the appropriate images based on the device breakpoints. To do this, select the image element on your page and open the settings panel.

  4. Configure visibility settings: In the settings panel, go to the "Visibility" tab. Under each device breakpoint (desktop, tablet, mobile), click on the eye icon to control the visibility for that breakpoint. Here, you can show or hide the image element based on the device.

  5. Bind the images to the multi-image field: Once the visibility settings are configured, you need to bind the images to the multi-image field in your CMS collection. To do this, select the image element and click on the "+" icon in the settings panel. In the binding dropdown, choose the multi-image field you created in Step 1.

  6. Set up dynamic image source: With the image element still selected, go to the settings panel and navigate to the "Image" tab. In the image source dropdown, choose "Dynamic" and select the appropriate multi-image field from the collection.

  7. Customize the image presentation: Finally, you can customize how the images are presented on different devices using Webflow's responsive design controls. You can adjust size, position, and styling to ensure that each image looks great on its respective device.

By following these steps, you can easily upload and display different images for desktop and tablets/mobile devices using a CMS multi-image field in Webflow. This approach allows you to provide an optimized experience for users on different devices, enhancing the overall performance and visual appeal of your web pages.
