Squarespace recommends a maximum image size of 500KB, with a hard and fast limit of 20MB (never go this big!) For all of the websites I design I keep image sizes to a maximum of 500KB (with the odd exception up to 600KB if really needed for a background images to maintain quality). Squarespace recommends an image width of 1500px for other images used on your website (for example Image blocks or images in Gallery Blocks). Squarespace recommends an image width of 2500px for images used as a full-width or banner. Struggling to find gorgeous images for your website?
