## AI overview

This Squarespace engineering article describes the design and development of a photo-importing experience that lets users access photos from the Squarespace Mobile App while editing a website in a desktop browser. It discusses user research, design trade-offs, and an initial Mobile Image Uploader whose engagement was below expectations.

## Source excerpt

Imagine you are editing your Squarespace website on your desktop browser and you want to add great photos that make your site stand out. At that moment, you realize those great photos are actually on your phone. Wouldn't it be great if you could cut out all the intermediate steps and directly access your phone's photo library right from the desktop browser into your Squarespace website?
