1 paul2009 29,201 Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Squarespace 7.0 does not compress images. That is, they do not use compression techniques to reduce file sizes. However, Squarespace do create up to seven versions of every image, each with a different resolution. These are not 'compressed' they just have smaller dimensions. Squarespace then serve the most appropriate image size based on the visitor's screen. The one exception is images uploaded via the control panel, such as background images. These always display at their original image width. -Paul Squarespace Expert & Professional Developer Edited April 22 by paul2009 Hi, I'm Paul, founder of SF Digital, a specialist company building the features that Squarespace didn't include.

0 peterjames 2 Posted April 14 SquareSpace does actually compress images (At least in 7.1 they do). I always wondered how they handled images and finally did some tests. The images uploaded are certainly compressed in 7.1 and the compression is quite good. 2 paul2009 and Trigger reacted to this Share this post Link to post
