How can I remove the padding around images?

To override some core CSS, you may need to add !important to certain elements. The !important rule is a way to make your CSS cascade but also have the rules you feel are most crucial always be applied. A rule that has the !important property will always be applied no matter where that rule appears in the CSS document,that is — considering it’s the correct element

Caution:
If you’re wanting to adjust .sqs-block.image-block in your custom CSS, you’re going to effect everything on the site using the same style, which in this case would be any image block you insert.

… but if you want to play, try this:

.sqs-block.image-block { padding: 0 !important }

If that doesn’t work, it could be because they are linked elements, so try:

.sqs-block.image-block a { padding: 0 !important }

Maybe an easier thing to do on the site — to add social network icons would be to use the built-in social blocks, which you can configure here: Using the Social Links Block

Using the social network icons that are provided by squarespace was an easy fix. Thanks!

You could also try this:

.sqs-block-image { padding-bottom: 0 !important }

I was able to solve my bottom image problem by just adding it to the footer. it was a work around but it will do.

Thanks this worked perfectly on the Flatiron Theme. I didn't need the left / right paddings so I just deleted those.

Honestly, this is the solution I like best for my site, but I have Image Blocks and Text Blocks offset from one another:

 .sqs-block.image-block {
margin-top: -8px;
margin-bottom: -8px;
  padding: 0;
}

This allows my Image Block corners to touch when they're in different rows, without overlapping any of the content (see screenshot).
