Can I use free stock photos instead of my own images?
Yes, Squarespace provides a stock image library with high-quality visuals you can search by keyword and use for free.
Does replacing a homepage image affect other pages?

Can I change a product image the same way?
Yes, the same click-and-replace process works for product photos on eCommerce pages.
How often should I update my site's visuals?
There's no fixed rule, but refreshing visuals periodically helps keep a blog, portfolio, or business site feeling current.
