A logo helps establish your brand identity and makes your site instantly recognizable. Here's how to effectively add and manage your logo on Squarespace.

Before Adding Your Logo

  1. Set your site title first, as it:
  • Creates the Alt text for your logo
  • Helps with SEO and search results
  • Appears in browser tabs

Logo Image Requirements

  • Use JPG, GIF, or PNG formats
  • Start with a larger image to prevent pixelation
  • For transparent backgrounds, use PNG format
  • Stock images cannot be used as logos

Tips for Best Results:

  • Match the desired display height
  • Consider template-specific size limits
  • Include text in the logo image if needed
  • Ensure high resolution for clear display

Adding Your Logo

  1. Click Edit in the top-left corner
  2. Hover over header and click Edit Site Header
  3. Click the site title/logo and select the pencil icon
  4. Click + to add a new image
  5. Upload file or select from library

Logo Display Settings

Important Notes:
