How can I export or backup all the images in the CMS created with Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Export CMS content as a CSV file from the Webflow Designer.
  • Open CSV in spreadsheet software to find Image URLs.
  • Use Image URLs to manually download images or use a tool for batch downloading.
  • Create a Project Backup via the Project Settings for future restoration.

Exporting or backing up all images from a Webflow CMS can be crucial for data management and portability purposes.

​

1. Export CMS Content

  • Go to the CMS Collections area in your Webflow Designer.
  • Locate the Export button, typically in the upper right corner.
  • Click Export to download a CSV file of your CMS content.

​

2. Identify Image URLs in CSV

  • Open the CSV file in a spreadsheet application like Excel or Google Sheets.
  • Look for columns that contain Image URLs. These are direct links to your hosted images.

​

3. Download Images

  • Copy and paste the Image URLs into a browser to view each image.
  • Right-click on the image and select Save As to download each one manually.
  • For bulk downloading, consider using browser extensions or scripts that can download multiple files using URLs.

​

4. Webflow Project Backup

  • Although this won't provide individual image files, create a Project Backup. 
  • Go to Project Settings, then Backups.
  • Click on Create a Backup. This allows you to restore your project, including images, at a later date.

​

Summary

To export or backup images in a Webflow CMS, first export the CMS content as a CSV file. Identify and copy the image URLs from the CSV, then manually download the images or use a browser extension for batch downloading. Additionally, perform a Project Backup to ensure the integrity of your project data for future use.
