Hey @lenapgl, sorry for the slow response! You can use remote images in Builder without needing to upload them. I’d recommend following the guide [here](https://forum.builder.io/t/how-do-i-link-an-image-block-to-an-external-image-without-uploading-it/404) that walks through those steps. It’s also worth mentioning we have a [plugin](https://github.com/builderio/builder/tree/master/plugins/cloudinary) with cloudinary or you can always drag and drop an “embed” block on to your page and add a url for an image/video that way too.

Let us know if you have any questions!
