Custom Social Link Icons

What You'll Create

Social link icons that use your own custom images instead of Squarespace's default icons. Each platform (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) can have its own unique icon that matches your brand.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace only provides a fixed set of social icons in one style. If you want branded icons, a different aesthetic, or icons for platforms not included in Squarespace's set, you're stuck — unless you use this technique.

Perfect For

Brand-matched social icons, Custom icon styles, Unsupported platforms, Unique icon shapes, Cohesive footer design

What Makes This Different

This technique lets you swap out any social icon with an image you provide. You simply point to your custom icon image URL and the code replaces the default. Works for any social platform Squarespace supports, and you can resize icons to fit your design.
