How to Update Featured Images in Squarespace
Learn how to easily change your product's main image on Squarespace.
Key Points:
- Access the Pages panel to change a featured image
- Navigate to the specific product in your store to update the image
- You can't edit the focal point of a custom featured image directly
- Removing the existing featured image allows the first product editor image to be used as the featured image
- Changing the featured image affects how the product appears on social media
Getting Started with Featured Images
A featured image acts as your product's main visual across your website and on social media (unless you've set a specific social sharing image). Changing this image is straightforward once you know where to look.
Where to Find the Featured Image Settings
- Open the Pages panel in your Squarespace dashboard
- Click on your store page where your product is listed
- Double-click on the product you want to update (or use the Products panel)
How to Change the Featured Image
- Find the Images section in the product editor
- Click 'Featured Image' to upload a new image or select one from your library
- Remove the old image (if needed): Click the three dots next to the existing image, select 'Delete', then upload your new one
- Save your changes by clicking 'Save'
Quick tip: Choose high-quality images that match your brand style. This consistency makes your products more appealing and can help boost sales.
Common Questions
Can I edit the focal point of a custom featured image?
No, you can't edit the focal point of a product's custom featured image directly. To change the focal point, remove the custom featured image first. Then the first image in your product editor becomes the new featured image, and you can edit its focal point.
Where exactly do I change a product's featured image?
Go to Pages panel → select your store page → double-click your product → scroll to the Images section.
Will changing my featured image affect social media posts?
Yes, unless you've set a specific social sharing image for that product. The featured image is what gets pulled when people share your product on social platforms.
Quick Definitions
Featured Image: The main image that represents your product across your site and on social media. It appears in product blocks, store pages, and other site sections.
Focal Point: The part of an image that draws attention. Setting the right focal point ensures the most important part of your image stays visible when it's cropped for different layouts.
Product Editor: The Squarespace interface where you manage everything about your products, including images, descriptions, and pricing.
Summary
Updating your product's featured image in Squarespace takes just a few clicks once you know the path. The image you choose matters more than you might think - it's often the first thing customers see and can make or break their interest in your product. Take time to pick images that show your products clearly and fit your brand's visual style.
