Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 9:31 am

As a general rule, it’s best to keep your image file sizes as small as possible without sacrificing quality. This is especially important when it comes toSquarespace, which can be very resource-intensive.

There are a few ways to compress your images without losing quality:

– Use a photo editing program like Photoshop or GIMP to save your images in a “web-optimized” format. This will automatically compress your images while keeping the quality high.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to use Squarespace to host your website, it is important to compress your images before uploading them. Otherwise, your site may load slowly or not at all. There are many free online tools that can help you compress your images, such as TinyPNG or Kraken.io.

– Use a free online service like TinyPNG or JPEGmini. These services will automatically compress your images without losing any quality.

– Manually compress your images using an image compression tool like ImageOptim (for Mac) or FileOptimizer (for Windows). These tools allow you to control the level of compression, so you can find the perfect balance between file size and quality.

Once you’ve compressed your images, you can then upload them to Squarespace and insert them into your site. To do this, simply go to the “Content” section of your site editor and click on “Files.” From there, you can upload your images and insert them into any page or post on your site.

Images are an important part of any website, but they can also be one of the biggest sources of file size bloat. By compressing your images, you can keep your site’s file size down and ensure that it loads quickly for visitors.
