A Webflow page can load a smaller copy of the file you uploaded. Webflow keeps narrower copies of each image to serve the site responsively and lists them next to the original in the image's srcset. The browser picks whichever fits the space the image fills, so a phone or a narrow column can get a copy instead of the original. Here is what Webflow's export covers if you are moving your own site or backing it up, and how to get the originals from the live site.
Code export needs a paid Workspace plan; the free Starter plan does not include it. Webflow's glossary describes the export as a ZIP file with the site's HTML, CSS, JavaScript and image files. Its pricing page adds two limits: CMS items and Collection pages can't be exported with the code, and forms stop working on an exported site.
CMS content comes out separately, one Collection at a time: open the Collection and click Export to download a CSV file. In Webflow's announcement of that feature, image and file fields are exported as links to where the files are hosted on the original project, and images in rich text come out as HTML with the same kind of link. Webflow warns that those links break for good if you delete the original project, and suggests keeping the project as a backup or downloading the files to your computer.
If you can open the site in the Designer, Webflow's app marketplace lists a free app, Asset Exporter by Amply. Its listing says it puts every image, icon and file of the site into one ZIP and keeps the original file names. I have not tried it.
Right-click an image on the live site and choose "Open image in new tab". If the browser loaded a copy, the address looks like this:
https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/<site id>/<asset id>_photo-p-1080.webp
The -p-1080 part names a copy 1080 pixels wide. The copies I found came in widths of 500, 800, 1080, 1600, 2000, 2600 and 3200 pixels, and only in widths below the original's, so an 800×800 upload had a 500 copy and nothing else. Delete -p-1080, so the address ends in _photo.webp, and reload. That is the stored original. An address without -p- already points to it.
I checked 56 images on four public sites built on Webflow, including webflow.com, and every original was wider than the largest copy its page listed. One page listed copies of a 4000×2556 AVIF only up to 1600 pixels wide. A 2000×1280 PNG weighed 1.9 MB, against 406 KB for its 1600 copy. Some older pages load images from uploads-ssl.webflow.com instead; the file I tried there came back identical to the one on the newer address.
-p- width, it removes the width, and those images show an HD badge.source.txt holding the page link.Of the 56 originals, 21 were AVIF, 19 WebP, 11 PNG and 5 JPEG, and each came back in the format its file name says. Chrome's request headers and a plain request got the same bytes every time. Webflow University says Webflow automatically serves images as WebP to browsers that support it, but on the image server I tested, the JPEG and PNG files stayed JPEG and PNG. The WebP and AVIF files are what those sites store. Webflow University also describes a tool that converts existing images to WebP in the Assets panel or across all CMS Collections.
On one site, the resized copies of 17 AVIF uploads were WebP files with an .avif name and an image/avif label, while the originals were real AVIF. If the next program you use does not open WebP or AVIF, convert first. PixLasso's free right-click Save image as JPG / PNG / WebP converts one image at a time.
Save images from a site you own, or with the owner's permission. Being able to open an image's address does not give you the right to reuse it.
The free version saves up to 30 images per download, with no daily limit, in the format they arrive in. With All tabs, a bigger batch stops at the end of a whole tab (or after 30 images if the first tab alone has more), and each press after that saves the next batch. Pro is a single US$9.99 payment (the launch price until 31 December 2026, then US$14.99). It removes the per-batch limit and adds converting a whole batch to JPG, PNG or WebP, resizing and padding every image to a white square, and custom file names. Right-click conversion of a single image stays free.
.avif or .jpg name.Address edits checked 1 November 2026 on Webflow's image server with 56 images from four public sites built on Webflow, using Chrome's request headers and a plain request. Export details are from Webflow's pricing page, glossary, CSV export announcement and Webflow University as they read on that date. I made PixLasso, and I mention it where it helps; the manual method needs no extension.
