How Do I Reduce the Padding Between Images in Squarespace?

Last updated on December 23, 2022 @ 9:51 am

Images are an important part of any website. They help to break up text, add visual interest, and can even convey information on their own.

But sometimes, images can be a little too close together for comfort. If you’re finding that your images are a bit too snug in Squarespace, there are a few things you can do to reduce the padding between them.

One way to reduce the padding between images is to adjust the spacing in your CSS. You can do this by adding a bit of code to your Custom CSS Editor. Just add the following code:

img {
padding: 0px;
}

This will remove all of the default padding that Squarespace adds around images. If you want to be more selective about which images have less padding, you can add a class to those images and then Target them with your CSS code.

PRO TIP: Squarespace allows you to add padding between images on your site to create visual interest and space out content. However, too much padding can make your site look cluttered and can make it difficult for visitors to find the content they’re looking for. When adding padding between images, be sure to use a small amount so that your site doesn’t look cluttered.

For example, let’s say you have a class called .small-image. You would add the following code to your Custom CSS Editor:

.small-image {
padding: 0px;
}

Then, when you add an image to your page, you would give it the class of small-image. This would remove the padding from only that image.

Another way to reduce the amount of space between images is to use the Column Control feature in Squarespace 7.1. This feature allows you to create columns of content and adjust the spacing between them.

To use it, just add a Column Block to your page and then drag and drop your images into it. You can then use the controls within the block to adjust the spacing between your images until they’re just right.

Reducing the padding between images in Squarespace is easy to do with a little bit of know-how. By either adjusting your CSS or using Column Control, you can create a layout that’s just right for your site.
