Does Squarespace 7.1 Compress Images?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 2:33 am

Squarespace 7.1 was released on July 1st, 2016, and one of the features that was included in this update was the ability to compress images. This new feature can be found in the Settings tab of the Image Editor. When you select an image to edit, you will see a new option called “Compress.”

PRO TIP: Squarespace 7.1 does not compress images. This could result in slower loading times for your website and/or higher bandwidth usage.

When you select this option, a pop-up window will appear that gives you three choices for image compression: Low, Medium, and High. Each option has a different level of compression, with Low being the least compressed and High being the most compressed.

So, does Squarespace 7.1 compress images? The answer is yes, but how much compression is applied depends on the settings that you choose.
