Hello,  
I am in a situation where it would be better for me to put the images as url’s in xano , ie: a text column that has the url of the image uploaded on weweb.

i am using the upload file element which works great, but is there a way to send the image uploaded as a url ? instead of doing the classic base 64 and create image on xano.

thank you,  
i would love to know if there is any suggestions

Hi @abdelmoula_bilel 👋

Yeah, 100%. You could add a text `image` column in your Xano table and then, when you make the API call to create the record, you can send the URL where the image is stored on WeWeb’s CDN.

You’ll find a step by step guide here: [Upload file (via WeWeb's CDN) | WeWeb Documentation](https://docs.weweb.io/workflows/actions/upload-file.html)

Hope that helps! Don’t hesitate to follow up if not 😄
