Resize
First, webflow do not
(yet) auto compress/resize images the “original image” (It will be a great feature/plugin).
Somehow to automatically resizes uploaded images to the max dimensions = DREAM
Anyway - if for “facebook icon” 30px
X 30px
width/height - you decide to use 6000px
X 6000px
3mb
image - no tool could disable this.
Background images

) not for background-images.
This features generates responsive variants for all inline JPGs and PNGs, except those added via rich text elements. It also doesn’t apply to background images./ webflow docs
