Adding External Images to a Webflow Project
If you want to add external images to your Webflow project without having to deal with custom code, there is a simple way to achieve this.
Prepare the image URL: First, you need to have the URL of the external image ready. This could be an image hosted on a different website or a content delivery network (CDN).
Navigate to the Assets panel: In the Webflow Designer, click on the "Assets" tab on the left-hand side of the screen. This is where you can manage all your project's assets, including images.
Upload an image placeholder: If you don't already have a placeholder image, you can upload a temporary one for now. This is just to add a placeholder element to your project's assets.
Add an image element to your project: Go to the page where you want to add the external image. Drag and drop an "Image" element from the Elements panel onto the desired location on the page.
Open the image settings: With the image element selected, you will see its settings appear in the right-hand panel. Click on the "Upload" button to upload an image.
Select "Link to URL" option: In the upload panel, you will see a drop-down menu where you can choose the source of the image. Instead of uploading an image file, select the "Link to URL" option.
Enter the image URL: When you choose the "Link to URL" option, a text field will appear where you can enter the URL of the external image. Paste the URL you prepared in step 1.
Save and preview changes: Once the image URL is added, click the "Save" button. You can then preview your changes by clicking the "Preview" button at the top of the Designer.
By following these steps, you can easily add external images to your Webflow project without having to embed custom code. This provides a simple solution for integrating images from other sources into your website design.
