Add a site title
Before adding your logo, ensure you've replaced the default Your Site Title placeholder text with the name of your site because:
- The site title creates the logo's alt text.
- Search engines index the site title and may display it in search results, so setting a site title is a best practice for SEO.
- The site title may display in browser tabs, depending on your SEO title format.

Prepare your logo image
For best results:
- Before uploading your logo, ensure it's a similar height to how you'd like it to display. We don't require exact dimensions for site logos. However, on version 7.0, some templates have a maximum logo height or width. For template-specific details, go to Resizing a logo on version 7.0.
- When in doubt, it's better to start with a larger image, as smaller images may become pixelated when they resize.
- Your logo can be in .jpg, .gif, or .png format. See our image requirements for more information.
- The logo replaces the site title. To include text in your logo, see our tips below.
If you don't have a logo yet, you can create one with Squarespace Logo. It's not possible to use stock images for your logo.

Use a logo with text
It isn't possible to display a logo and site title at the same time. Instead, use a logo image that includes your site title text.
Since text in the logo image file isn't indexable by search engines, we recommend keeping your site title text in the Site Title field when using a logo.
Transparent backgrounds
To create a logo without a background color, ensure your logo is a .png file with a transparent background. You can use third-party software to create this, or use Squarespace Logo to create transparent backgrounds automatically.
Note: If you edit your image with our built-in image editor, it saves as a .jpg, and all transparency will be lost. To maintain the .png format, use third-party software instead.
Redirect the logo
Clicking your logo image always leads to your homepage. The logo clickthrough can’t direct to a different page of your site without applying custom code.
Please note that adding code to your site is an advanced modification and we can't offer more help on this topic.
