How do I convert a regular image URL to a Lightboxify URL

To convert a regular image URL to a Lightboxify URL, you need to append a specific parameter to the URL. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Obtain the Image URL: Get the URL of the image you want to display in the lightbox.

2. Convert to Lightboxify URL: Append ?lightboxify=true to the end of the image URL. This tells the system to display the image in a lightbox instead of opening it in a new tab.

   Example:

   • Regular Image URL: https://example.com/image.jpg

   • Lightboxify URL: https://example.com/image.jpg?lightboxify=true

3. Apply in Squarespace: In Squarespace, you can use this Lightboxify URL as a clickthrough link in gallery blocks or image blocks. For most gallery layouts, Squarespace automatically converts image URLs to Lightboxify URLs, but you may need to manually set this for certain layouts like Grid

By following these steps, you can easily convert any image URL to a Lightboxify URL and enhance the user experience on your Squarespace lightbox.
