How to upload a document on squarespace?

The ability to host files on your website is very useful. It allows you to share a downloadable resource with your audience or ask buyers to submit images related to their orders. Though Squarespace allows uploading files, this feature is not easy to find for most users.

In this post, we’ll cover options to upload files to Squarespace.

Before we dive in

You can upload many file types to Squarespace, such as PDF, JPEG, ZIP, DOCX etc. However, Squarespace has a file size limit of 20 MB or smaller. If you have larger files, you should reduce their sizes before uploading them. 

  • For images, use tinyjpg to reduce the file size 

  • For PDF, try smallpdf to compress the file

Upload as a link

1) Go to Pages menu

2) Under Not Linked section, click the + button and choose Link. Click the gear icon to open the Link Editor popup.

3) Go to File. Click Upload File and select a file from your computer

4) After a quick second you’ll see the file name appear, which means the file has been uploaded to your Squarespace storage.

On the Link Editor popup, you will see a URL link, where you can add a title. Select the checkbox next to the file name.

5) Click Save. This will bring you back to the Link Editor popup where you’ll get the URL of the file.

By this point, your work is done 🎉.
