Can You Hyperlink an Image on Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:15 am

Images are a vital part of any website. They can help break up text, add visual interest, and convey information more effectively than words alone.

But what if you want to take things a step further and hyperlink an image? Fortunately, this is a relatively easy process on Squarespace.

In general, you can hyperlink an image by selecting it and clicking the link icon in the Content Editor. Then, you can enter the URL you want to link to in the Link field. If you want to open the link in a new window, you can check the box next to Open in new window/tab.

There are a few things to keep in mind when hyperlinking images on Squarespace:

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about hyperlinking an image on Squarespace, beware that there are some potential risks. First, when you hyperlink an image, you are giving someone else control over where users will be taken if they click on the image. Second, there is a possibility that the image itself could be used for malicious purposes, such as phishing or malware attacks. If you do decide to hyperlink an image on Squarespace, be sure to only link to trusted sites and use a reputable service.

-When you upload an image, Squarespace automatically adds alt text. This is important for accessibility and SEO purposes, so be sure to update it with relevant keywords.

-You can’t currently hyperlink images in Gallery Blocks. However, you can add a caption with a link using HTML.

-If you’re using Image Blocks, be aware that there’s no option to open the link in a new window/tab. If you want visitors to be able to do this, you’ll need to use HTML again.

Overall, hyperlinking images on Squarespace is a pretty straightforward process. Just remember to add alt text and use HTML if you want more control over how the links work.
