How Do I Add a GIF to Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:52 am

There are a few different ways that you can add a GIF to your Squarespace site. One way is to use the Image Block. To do this, simply click on the “Image” button in the Content Editor.

Then, click on the “Upload” button in the Image Block window. Select the GIF file that you want to upload from your computer. Once the file has been uploaded, you can add a caption and alt text if you wish.

Another way to add a GIF to your Squarespace site is to use the Embed Block. To do this, simply click on the “Embed” button in the Content Editor.

PRO TIP: GIFs can be a great way to add some personality and pizzazz to your Squarespace site. However, they can also be a major pain if you’re not careful. Here are a few things to keep in mind when adding GIFs to your Squarespace site:

1. Make sure the GIF is the right size. If it’s too big, it could slow down your site or cause display issues. If it’s too small, it might look blurry or pixelated.

2. Avoid using GIFs that are too graphic or offensive. Remember that not everyone shares your sense of humor, and you don’t want to turn off potential customers or clients.

3. Use GIFs sparingly. A few well-placed GIFs can add some fun and personality to your site. But if you go overboard, it will just look cluttered and overwhelming.

Then, paste the URL of the GIF into the Embed Block window. Once the GIF has been added, you can resize it as desired.

You can also add a GIF to your Squarespace site by using HTML code. To do this, simply click on the “Code” button in the Content Editor.

Then, paste the HTML code for the GIF into the Code Block window. Once the code has been added, you can preview it to make sure that it looks how you want it to.

Adding a GIF to your Squarespace site is a great way to add some visual interest to your site. By using one of these methods, you can easily add a GIF to any page on your site.
