Frequently Asked Questions
What size should Squarespace banner images be?
Squarespace recommends banner and hero images be at least 1500 pixels wide, with 2500 pixels ideal for high-DPI displays. A 1500x750 (2:1 ratio) is a versatile starting point for most templates.
Why do my Squarespace images look blurry?
Squarespace compresses images automatically and serves them at different sizes for different devices. If your source image is too small, it will look blurry when stretched. Always upload images at least 1500 pixels wide.
Does Squarespace compress images?
Yes, Squarespace automatically compresses and resizes images for optimal web performance. However, you should still upload properly sized images — don't rely on Squarespace to shrink a 10 MB file for you.
What image format is best for Squarespace?
Use JPEG for photographs and complex images. Use PNG for graphics with transparency, logos, and images with text. Squarespace will serve images in modern formats (WebP) to supported browsers automatically.
