# How are product images stored in CartGenie?

Are they uploaded to Webflow?

## CartGenie Storage

When you create a product in CartGenie’s dashboard, you are uploading the image directly to our servers.

These images are used for:

-   Displaying the image across CartGenie’s dashboard
    
-   Sending emails to customers
    
-   Product thumbnails on the cart, checkout, and confirmation page
    

## Webflow Storage

When the CartGenie product is saved as a draft, queued to publish, or published in Webflow, then we send the image to Webflow’s servers to be stored locally there.

These images are used for:

-   Image fields in the backend of Webflow’s CMS collection items – this allows you to preview your site pages in the Webflow designer with locally stored CMS photos.
    
-   Your live website’s home, category, and product pages – this ensures the pages load quickly and the images are accessible for SEO
