 Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, it does not. Only images download is supported at the moment

  • No, this plugin is not affiliated with Squarespace. It’s a third-party tool developed to enhance the platform's capabilities.

  • Not exactly. The downloaded image may not be the original file, as Squarespace processes all images through its CDN to optimize file size and resolution.

  • No, the feature currently works only on the Details List Layout in the Asset Library.

  • Yes! You can select up to 75 images (the Squarespace limit) and download them simultaneously.

  • This issue likely occurs because the video hasn’t been inserted anywhere on your site. For the URL to be playable, you’ll need to embed the video as a Video Block or use it as a background video on any page—even on a password-protected page. Doing so will make the video accessible and playable.

  • It’s not recommended to use Squarespace-hosted video URLs on external sites. Squarespace is not a dedicated video hosting platform like YouTube and is designed to support video usage only within your own Squarespace website.

    Sharing the .m3u8 video URL as a playback source on other platforms can lead to:

    • Playback issues if there’s a high volume of viewers.

    • Possible suspension of video delivery during surge traffic.

    To ensure smooth playback and avoid disruptions, keep your videos hosted and used exclusively on your Squarespace site.
