Stop uploading massive images to your Squarespace website without resizing or compressing them first! Please, no 8,000KB files 😅.
Big files = a slow website, which can hurt your user experience and your SEO.
It’s an easy step to overlook, especially when you want your images to look amazing, but luckily there are heaps of free tools that make it super simple!
Here are some quick image best practices for Squarespace:
• Image size: 500KB or smaller
• File types: jpg, png, gif
• Dimensions: 2500px wide (for most images)
• Logo: 900px wide
• Favicon: 300x300px
• Social sharing images: 1600x900px
Some of my favorite free tools for image resizing are:
💻 Canva: Perfect for cropping and downscaling images.
💻 Squoosh.app: My go-to for compressing, it’s super user-friendly, and the slider lets you preview exactly how your images will look.
