There are a few different ways that you can stretch an image in Squarespace. One way is to use the built-in image editor.

Simply click on the image you want to stretch, then click on the “Stretch” button in the top-left corner of the editor. You can also find this button by going to the “Image” tab in the left-hand sidebar and clicking on the “Stretch” option.

Another way to stretch an image is to use CSS. You can add a custom CSS class to an image element and then use the “background-size” property to stretch it. For example, you could add a class called “stretch-image” to an image element and then add the following CSS:

PRO TIP: If you are unsure about how to stretch an image in Squarespace, it is best to consult with a professional or someone with experience. Stretching an image in Squarespace can result in distortion and may not always produce the desired results.

.stretch-image {
background-size: 100% 100%;
}

You can also use HTML to stretch an image. Just add the “width” and “height” attributes to the “img” tag and set them to the desired size. For example, if you want to stretch an image to be 400px wide and 300px tall, you would use the following HTML:

<img src="example.jpg" width="400" height="300">

Conclusion: You can stretch an image in Squarespace by using the built-in image editor, CSS, or HTML.
