In this article, you’ll learn how to create a grayscale effect on Squarespace gallery sections - no fluff, just what you need to know. If you find the article useful, feel free to share it with the world using the social sharing icons on this page. Thank you!
1. Why use this code?
Sometimes, you want all of your logos or images to look uniform. By adding this grayscale effect, it unifies all of your gallery’s images. Then allowing the colour pop on hover really focuses the user on one image at a time.
Good stuff.
🚨 You’ll need to download the Squarespace Block Identifier chrome extension to target the correct section in the code below.
🚨🚨 This code only works for grid gallery sections. Replace ‘.gallery-grid-item’ with other targets to target other gallery types.
2. The code

section[data-section-id="REPLACE ID HERE"] {
.gallery-grid-item img {
filter: grayscale(100%);
transition: filter .2s ease-in-out;
}
.gallery-grid-item:hover img {
filter: none;
transition: filter .2s ease-in-out;
}
}
