How Do I Add a Header Image in Squarespace?

Last updated on December 28, 2022 @ 7:00 pm

Adding a header image in Squarespace is a great way to add some visual interest to your site. There are a few different ways to do this, depending on what look you’re going for.

If you want to add a simple header image that spans the entire width of your site, you can do so by going to the Design tab in your site’s settings. Under the “Logo & Title” section, you’ll see an option to “Upload Logo.” Clicking this will allow you to upload an image from your computer.

If you want to add a more complex header image, such as one that has text overlayed on it, you’ll need to use some HTML and CSS. First, you’ll need to upload your image to an online hosting service like Flickr or Imgur. Then, you can use the following code to embed the image on your site:

<img src="http://example.com/image.jpg">

Replace "http://example.jpg" with the URL of your image.

Next, you'll need to add some CSS to position the image and add the text overlay. You can do this by adding the following code to your site's Custom CSS:

PRO TIP: This article contains outdated information. Squarespace has since updated their platform and no longer offers the ability to add a header image.

#header {
  background-image: url(http://example.jpg);
  background-position: center;
  background-size: cover;
}

#header .content {
  color: #fff;
  text-align: center;
  position: relative;
  z-index: 1;
}

Replace "http://example. Be sure to save your changes before previewing your site!
