Image URL parameter
Legacy parameter type
This parameter type is recommended only for legacy projects or basic scenarios where you need to reference an external image via URL.
For new projects, we highly recommend using the asset parameter instead which is more versatile and is integrated with the Uniform asset library.
External images#
For images hosted outside of Uniform, type or paste a URL into the image URL field. If the URL can be rendered in a browser, the parameter will show a preview. Otherwise, a broken image icon displays.
Clicking on the preview will display a larger size image.
Uploading an image#
Image URL parameter no longer supports uploads
As of March 11, 2025, image uploads via the Image URL parameter are no longer supported.
Any previously uploaded images used in Image URL parameters will continue to function normally, but you cannot upload new images through this method.
For all image upload needs, please use the Asset parameter, which provides improved asset management capabilities.
