If you maintain a Jekyll site with images alongside content, you have written the same path prefix dozens of times. Jekyll FilePath replaces that repetition with a single Liquid tag that builds a predictable asset URL based on the current page or post.
How It Works
The plugin exposes a tag with this shape:
{`{` filepath filename.png `}`}When rendered, it resolves the current page or post path and returns a /files/... URL that matches that document’s location.
Why It Exists
For content-heavy Jekyll sites, small quality-of-life improvements matter. This plugin keeps markdown cleaner, makes asset moves more systematic, and reduces broken links caused by hand-written paths.
Highlights
-
One Liquid tag to resolve any asset path relative to the current page.
-
Stop hardcoding repeated `/images/subfolder/file.png` paths in markdown.
-
Works with pages, posts, and collection documents.
