The problem: Upload images larger than 4MB. My thought: Is there a way to add images (including gifs) on the website from a URL instead of uploading them? if you can answer like you’re explaining to a toddler, I’d appreciate it!

For everyone wondering, it’s pretty simple: Click on Add Elements (A) Scroll down to Advanced and drag the item “Embed” It will open an HTML text field, simply paste this code < img src=“URL” > (remove the space between <> and the text) and replace URL with the image’s URL.

Can I add images via URL (instead of uploading)?

Webflow didn’t invent HTML

Embeds are for inserting your own custom content directly into the page, so Webflow trusts you to correctly choose what you actually want in your HTML file.
