Image url issue

Community resources General

When I open the logo from the published website, it must be open in this url like below,
example.com-images-logo.png

But now it opens like this,
cdn.prod.website-files.com-65117a8a08cb435cfd6-65167c01dc54be382e_logo.png

How to add this (example.com-images-logo.png) path.

Hello @Sudharshan_S, welcome to the community!
If you upload an image to Webflow and use the native image component, then you image will always use the cdn.prod.website-files… url. If you want to use your own url source for images then you will have to use the embed element or the custom element. I hope this helps!

Hi Sudharshan,

In cases were I need control over the image filename, I generally host the images on a provider like Amazon S3 or Cloudflare R2, and setup a subdomain, like

https://images.mysite.com/myfile.avif

You can get full control that way however Webflow’s designer is not built to work with this setup directly. You’ll have to learn some new techniques, avoid using assets, and solve some problems with CMS content referencing.

It’s possible though.

Thank you @Pablo_Cortes.

If this URL will change in the future cdn.prod.website-files… i.e. while using on the other websites.

You will get a different URL if you were to upload the same image to a different Webflow site. It will also change if you were to duplicate the site.

Other than that, it generally will not change after you first upload it into the project.

Hi @memetican If we replace the image, will change the current URL?

In my testing, yes. The native asset replace feature did change the URL.
I commented on that in the beta- URL changes can be useful for SEO, but are not ideal for external linking.

You’d need to retest that to see if it’s changed.

If you’re trying to host images for external linking, like in an email footer, and want the ability to change the content without affecting the URL, I’d host them elsewhere
