Looking for a CDN file Hosting Tool

Hey! Do you know of any tool that makes it easy to host files, like animations, on a CDN? Tools like Webflow automatically compress everything you upload, resulting in really low quality.

The compression shouldn’t affect your file quality enough to notice with Webflow, the quality could be related to the original file - Webflow does this compression to reduce the load on your site and optimize speed. It’s a highly upvoted feature to be added to the CMS.
But if you want to use a CDN I’d recommend Bunny.net or Cloudflare (embeds or links you can use on Webflow pages).
For animations I’d recommend Lottie Files, Webflow has has a native element to support this 🙌

Depends on the kind of animations. If they are Lotties (basically JSON files), you have to rely on lossless compression algorithms (gzip/brotli). I'd recommend Cloudflare, imgix for images (imgproxy by EvilMartians if you want to self-host, its open-source), or use object storage such as a S3 bucket (quite inexpensive).
