This also has the advantage of making uploading faster for you. If you want to minimise the risk of having your photos stolen upload them at a lower resolution to make them less tempting to thieves. If this doesn't worry you then upload at fullsize. Thousands of people regularly steal photos and upload them elsewhere as their own. Whenever and wherever you upload photos to any internet website they can be copied and stolen. Wouldn't dream of uploading full size images to flickr - but that's me, YMMV.īest way is to upload in the orginal full size! I recently switched to 1600 for landscape and up to 1024 for portrait. For a long time, that was 1024 pixels for landscape format and 800 pixels for portrait format for me. And there is no 'best' size - upload whatever size you are comfortable with. The resolution setting is meaningless (it only applies to prints). (I'd have advised differently many years ago, but we have more control now over size visibility.)

I've been finding that optimal for balancing quality, comfortable-to-me viewing access, and availability of the full size for my own or my family's use. I currently upload full size, let Flickr optimize compression for display on other sizes, and use my settings to control what size is the largest 'large' available to viewers. What is the best size and resolution to use? I am currently using 1100 pixels on long edge and 72 pixels per ince for resolution. My photos appear smaller in the 'activity feed' than the other photos. What is the best size for uploading photos? NEW feature?
