The New Flickr Banner Sizing

May 24, 2013  •  1 Comment

New Flickr Banner, American Falls of Niagara Falls - night illumination.Flickr Banner of Niagara Falls Do you use Flickr? You've probably noticed the recent change. There's much discussion about whether they got it right or not and I will not pour gasoline into that fire. I will just say that I was not clear on how to size my banner to work well in the new framework. I've also found quite a few blogs that did not help me much. But The Barefoot Businessman's blog post helped and while I did not use the templates provided, it helped me size things right.

Have fun!

Thanks for the mention & link. There's so much mis-information around about the correct sizing of the Flickr banner image. I went through a lot of different options to discover how it worked.

People who uploaded a banner picture immediately after the switch-over will wonder what the fuss is all about - until they change their pictures. Flickr changed the banner image importing software a couple of weeks later, and pictures that worked fine at the start if re-loaded would go all blurry, much to many people's frustration.

I'm glad I could be of help.
