How to download assets from Squarespace?
Here are ways to download assets from Squarespace:
Use the Asset Library Enhancer plugin from Beyondspace, which allows quick downloads of images directly from your Squarespace site's Asset Library without navigating away. It supports single or multiple image selection and can copy URLs for easy sharing. This free plugin greatly simplifies asset management for designers and content creators.
For videos, Asset Library Enhancer helps you find the direct video URL in HLS format. With this URL, you can use media players like VLC to download.

/config/asset-library
and toggle the view to list mode. The enhancer plugin adds quick-download and copy-url buttons inside the context menu for each asset row.Squarespace stores images on a CDN and generates multiple variants optimized for responsive delivery. Downloaded images may not be the original files but processed versions optimized for fast loading.
