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

TL;DR
  • Export CMS collections as a CSV to retrieve image URLs.
  • Use batch download tools or scripts to download images from those URLs, as Webflow lacks native bulk export for CMS images.

To export or back up all images used in Webflow CMS, you'll need to manually extract image URLs or download them indirectly since Webflow does not offer a direct "Export All CMS Images" tool.

1. Export the CMS Collection Data

  • Go to the Webflow Designer and click the CMS Collections panel.
  • Select the CMS collection you want and click the Export icon (small arrow) in the top right of the CMS panel.
  • This downloads a CSV file that contains all your item fields, including image URLs (for image or multi-image fields).

2. Extract and Download Images

  • Open the CSV file in Excel, Google Sheets, or similar.
  • Look for columns containing image URLs.
  • For multi-image fields, URLs may be comma-separated in one cell.
  • Use a tool, browser extension, or script to batch download images from these URLs:
  • Extensions like “Download All Images” (Chrome)
  • Tools like DownThemAll
  • Alternatively, manually paste links into a browser and save.

3. Download Project Assets (Optional for Static Images)

  • If you also want static images (not in CMS), click Assets panel > Download icon next to each asset.
  • There’s no bulk export option in the Assets panel—manual download is required.

4. Use Webflow API for Advanced Automation (Optional)

  • The Webflow CMS API allows for programmatic extraction of item data, including image URLs.
  • You'll need an API token and basic scripting knowledge (e.g., Python, Node.js).
  • This is useful for large-scale sites but not necessary for general backups.

Summary

To back up CMS images from Webflow, export the CMS as CSV to get image URLs, then use a downloader tool or script to save the files. Webflow does not currently support native bulk image export from CMS.
