Squarespace Scrolling Images Plugin Pro

Some images are simply too tall for a web page: a full-length website mockup, a long infographic, a restaurant menu scanned as one image, a comic strip. Drop one into a Squarespace image block and it either dominates the page or gets shrunk until nothing is legible. Squarespace Scrolling Images Plugin Pro from The Square Genius puts a tall image inside a container of fixed height that the visitor scrolls within, so the image stays large and the page stays tidy. It is a CSS plugin used together with a Code Block, with adjustable container heights, custom scrollbar styling and padding options. The Square Genius state it is compatible with Squarespace 7.1, and their FAQ also mentions 7.0.

Who it suits

Web designers showing full-page mockups in a portfolio, photographers with panoramic or long-format work, illustrators, and businesses presenting infographics or long documents as images. If you have ever wished a visitor could scroll a screenshot instead of squinting at it, this is the fix.

One honest caveat

It handles vertical scrolling only; there is no horizontal mode in this version. A scrolling box inside a scrolling page can also feel odd on touchscreens, where the visitor may not realise the image moves independently, so keep the container height sensible and test on a phone before publishing.

Installation

Paste the supplied CSS into Custom CSS and add the image using a Code Block following the included instructions. Custom CSS is available on all Squarespace plans, but check your plan supports Code Blocks before buying.
