Remote image failed to import

Publishing help Editor

I am editing content in my Webflow CMS and I came across this error “Remote Image failed to import: invalid file url”. The only thing I changed in the editor is adding a new URL to this page. That URL is linking to a page on our site that is functioning. Thank you for the help!

Hi Francesca, if you were trying to import an image and got this error, check;

  • Image must be a valid image type
  • Under 4MB
  • Filename must be < 100 characters
  • Keep it simple, certain filename chars are disallowed

The filesize is probably far larger than you want, I’d convert to AVIF.
But more importantly your filename may be too long or have invalid characters. Rename it to bob.png and see if that works, if so, now you know.
