Set page images and logos to control how featured content looks on social media apps and link previews.

When someone shares a URL from your site on a social media platform or in a text message, a social sharing image can display alongside the link. Adding one is optional, and you can control how your link looks even on pages that don't include any images.

The two types of social sharing images:

  • Social sharing logo - Represents your whole site.
  • Alternate Social Sharing Image - Represents individual pages or collection items, like blog posts, products, events, and portfolio sub-pages. Not currently available for gallery images or album tracks.

What image size to use

Images shared on Facebook need to be 200px × 200px or larger. Facebook changes their preferred image sizes often, so if your image displays cropped, try a few sizes to find what works. For current recommendations, visit Facebook's documentation on image best practices.

To add a social sharing logo:

  1. Open the Social Sharing panel.
  2. Click + to upload an image or select from your library. You can also click and drag an image into the uploader.
  3. Click Save.

Add an Alternate Social Sharing Image for a page

You can add an Alternate Social Sharing Image on a computer, not in the Squarespace app. In version 7.1, this includes portfolio sub-pages.

To set the image for one page:

  1. Open the Pages panel.
  2. Hover over the page title, then click gear icon to open page settings.
  3. Click the Social tab.
  4. Drag your image into the image uploader. You can also click Upload an Image to open a file menu, then choose a file from your computer.
  5. Click Save.

Add an Alternate Social Sharing Image for a blog post, product, event, or portfolio sub-page

To set the image for one collection item:

  1. Open the Pages panel.
  2. Click a blog page, store page, calendar page, or portfolio page.
  3. Open its settings. For a blog post or event, hover over the item and click Edit. For a product, double-click it. For a portfolio sub-page, click •••, then click Settings.
  4. Click the Social tab.
  5. Drag your image into the image uploader, or click Upload an Image and choose a file from your computer.
  6. Click Save.
