Why Use Rounded Image Corners?

Before we dive into the how-to, let’s quickly go over why you might want to round the corners of your images:

• Creates a Softer Look - Harsh, sharp edges can feel rigid, whereas rounded corners provide a more modern and friendly feel.

• Enhances Design Consistency - If you're already using rounded sections, buttons, or typography, rounded images help maintain a cohesive aesthetic.

• Improves Visual Flow - Curved edges naturally guide the user's eye, improving the overall experience on your site.

How to Round Image Corners in Squarespace

Step 1: Select an Image to Edit

1. Navigate to the page where your image is located.

2. Double-click on the image to open the settings.

3. Click on Design to access customization options.

Step 2: Adjust the Corner Radius

1. Head to the Corner Radius setting.

2. Increase the pixel value to add a curve to the image edges (e.g. 30px for a subtle curve, higher for a more pronounced effect).

3. Preview the changes to see if you’re happy with the results.

Step 3: Customize Individual Corners (Optional)

Squarespace also allows for granular control over each corner:

• Adjust individual corners if needed (e.g. keep the top corners rounded while keeping the bottom corners sharp).

Best Practices for Using Rounded Images

• Keep It Consistent - Stick to a uniform corner radius across all images for a balanced design.

• Match Other Design Elements - If your site features rounded buttons or sections, ensure your images follow the same style.

• Consider Background Colors - Adjust corner settings to align images neatly with colored sections.

By rounding the corners of your images, you can instantly modernize your Squarespace site and create a more refined aesthetic.
