Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:05 am

As we all know, images can be a pain when it comes to responsive design. Often, we have to resize and crop images to fit them into our layouts, and even then they can look fuzzy on high-resolution screens. So why does Squarespace resize images?

The answer is actually quite simple: to save you time and effort. By automatically resizing and cropping images, Squarespace saves you from having to do it yourself. And, because we use lossless compression, your images will never lose quality.

PRO TIP: If you are using Squarespace to resize your images, be aware that this may result in some distortion of the image. Additionally, if you are not using the correct file type (e.g. .jpg), this may also result in some degradation of image quality.

So there you have it! Now you know why Squarespace resize images, and can rest assured that your images will always look their best.

In conclusion, Squarespace resizes images to save users time and effort. By automatically resizing and cropping images, Squarespace ensures that users don’t have to do it themselves.
