Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 12:15 am

When you add a social sharing image to your Squarespace website, it’s automatically sized and formatted for the social media platform you choose. For example, when someone shares your site on Facebook, the social sharing image will appear as a thumbnail next to the link.

Social sharing images are a great way to make your site more shareable, and they can help promote your brand on social media. If you’re not sure how to add a social sharing image to your Squarespace site, follow the instructions below.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to use Squarespace to share images on social media, be aware that there are some potential risks. First, when you upload an image to Squarespace, it is automatically resized to fit within their template. This can result in a lower quality image that may not look as good when shared on social media. Additionally, if you try to share a link to an image on Squarespace on social media, the link will often direct users back to the Squarespace website instead of the image itself.

Instructions:

  1. First, login to your Squarespace account and go to the page or post where you want to add a social sharing image.
  2. Next, click on the “Share” button in the top-right corner of the page.
  3. Then, click on the “Social Sharing Image” tab.
  4. Finally, click on the “Choose Image” button and select the image you want to use as your social sharing image.

Conclusion:

A social sharing image is an image that appears next to a link when someone shares your site on social media. You can add a social sharing image to your Squarespace website by following the instructions above.
