Important Considerations

• Browser Compatibility: Ensure you’re using a compatible and updated web browser for the best experience, as some features might not be fully visible or functional in outdated browsers.

• Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to edit the site and view the image settings.

• URL Validity: Note that the image URL should be accessible to the public if you intend to share it externally. Private or secured images may not display correctly outside of your Squarespace site.

• SEO and Alt Text: As a best practice, ensure that the image has proper SEO tags and alt text descriptions to improve accessibility and search engine visibility.

By following these steps, you should be able to obtain the URL of any image hosted on your Squarespace site, enabling you to use it for various purposes such as embedding in other sites, sharing on social media, or linking in emails.
