How Do I Add a Background Image in Squarespace?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:38 pm

Adding a background image in Squarespace is a great way to add some personality to your website. There are a few different ways to do this, so we’ll walk you through the process.

First, you’ll need to decide which page you want to add the background image to. For this example, we’ll add a background image to the home page.

Next, you’ll need to find an image that you want to use as your background. Make sure that the image is high-quality and large enough to fit the entire page. We recommend using an image that is at least 1920px wide.

PRO TIP: If you are using Squarespace to design a website, be aware that you can add a background image. However, if you do not have the appropriate permissions, your background image may not display correctly. Additionally, make sure that the background image you select is appropriate for the content of your website.

Once you have your image, head over to the Squarespace website and log into your account. From there, go to the “Design” tab and then click on “Site Styles.”

Scroll down until you see the “Background” section and then click on the “Image” option. From there, you can upload your image and position it how you’d like. We recommend using the “Cover” option so that your image fills the entire page.

And that’s it! Now you know how to add a background image in Squarespace.
