Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:25 am

A full bleed image is an image that extends all the way to the edge of a page, without any margins. In other words, the image fills the entire page. Full bleed images are commonly used in print design, and can also be used on web pages for a dramatic effect.

If you want to add a full bleed image to a Squarespace page, you’ll need to use some custom CSS. Don’t worry – it’s not as difficult as it sounds! Just follow the steps below.

1. Log in to your Squarespace account and go to the page where you want to add the image.

2. In the Page Settings panel, click on the Advanced tab. 3. In the Custom CSS box, enter the following code:

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with design terms, “full bleed” means that your image extends all the way to the edge of the page, without any border. Adding a full bleed image in Squarespace is easy, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Make sure your image is high enough resolution. If it’s not, it will appear pixelated when stretched to fit the page.

2. Full bleed images can be tricky to align correctly. If you want your image to be centered on the page, make sure to add appropriate margins on either side.

3. Be aware of how full bleed images will look on different screen sizes. Some visitors may see part of your image cut off if they’re viewing your site on a mobile device.

.image-block-wrapper { max-width: 100% !important; }

4. Click Save. 5. Now you can add your image using the Image Block. Just click on “Add Image”, and then upload or select your image from your computer or from the Squarespace library. Make sure that you select “Full Width” for the alignment option.

That’s all there is to it! Now you know how to add full bleed images to your Squarespace pages using custom CSS.
