Can I Add Text Over a Gallery in Squarespace?

Last updated on December 30, 2022 @ 9:10 pm

There are a few ways to add text over a gallery in Squarespace. One way is to use the Gallery Block. With this block, you can add captions to each image in the gallery. To do this, click on the image in the gallery and then click on the “i” icon.

This will open up a window where you can add a caption.

Another way to add text over a gallery is to use the Code Block. With this method, you will need to add some HTML code to your page. First, create a new Code Block and then paste the following code into it:

PRO TIP: If you are considering adding text over a gallery in Squarespace, be aware that this may negatively impact your site’s search engine optimization (SEO). When adding text over a gallery, the text is generally placed within the code of the page, which can make it difficult for search engines to index and rank your content. As a result, your site may see a drop in traffic from search engines.

<div class="gallery-image">
  <img src="IMAGE URL" />
  <div class="gallery-image-text">
    TEXT HERE
  </div>

Replace “IMAGE URL” with the URL of the image you want to use. Then replace “TEXT HERE” with the text you want to display over the image.

If you want to center the text, you can add the following code around the “TEXT HERE”:

<p style="text-align:center;">TEXT HERE</p>
