Automatically Resize Blogger Images to Fit Blog Post Area

Blogger offers most of the tools you need to add and change Blogger images quickly and easily. You can upload photos directly to the platform and even resize them depending on the type of content you want to create.

To do this, write a message and click on the thumbnail icon in the top toolbar next to the font settings. A popup window will appear on the screen asking where you want to load the image source. You can add images:

• your local computer
• Images previously uploaded to the blog
• Picasa Web Albums
• Image URL

After selecting the image you want to use, you'll see four image sizes to choose from: small, medium, large, and extra large; also allows you to define the alignment. If you find that the four preset sizes aren't giving you the results you want, there are easy ways to resize Blogger images to custom sizes to fit your blog space.

Step 1: Save the image quality

If you know you will need to resize Blogger images after you post them to your blog, make sure you start with a photo larger than 640px in the x-large option. Resizing an image is easy, but when you try to enlarge a small image, some of the quality is lost. Be sure to check the size of the file containing the image ; The larger the file, the slower it will load on your website.

Photoshop is a powerful image editor that lets you resize Blogger images or edit images before publishing them, but it's also an expensive investment. There are also many free photo editors that can do the simple task of resizing a photo. Specify the size of the photo to display on the page and manually resize Blogger images to those sizes. Other users have found that the 700px width is quite flexible and works well for posts.

After resizing the photo and adding it to your post, click on it and select the original size option. If your photos are larger than the post editor size, it probably means they are larger than the post text, so let's fix that and be specific.

Step 2: Change the CSS of the website

Next, you need to adjust the Blogger template's CSS to match your settings. Do not worry; You don't need much programming experience to complete this task.

Open Blogger Dashboard and select Template > Customize. You will see an "Advanced" option, click on it and go to the "Add CSS" tab... paste the following CSS code in the blank space:

.post-body-image {
max width: 100%;
max height: auto;
screen lock;
inventory: car;
}

Adding code to this section will automatically add art .... Tags in your template (Template > Edit HTML, above ]]> Label). So whether to add above or not ]]> or in the "Add CSS" field, the effect should be the same.

Keep in mind that CSS changes to the blog template will affect all posts previously added with the "Original Size" size option.

To further enhance the message, add the last three lines below in green:

.post-body-image {
max width: 100%;
max height: car;
screen lock;
inventory: car;
block shadow: no;
limit: no;
padding: 0px;
}

This code removes all borders and padding around the image and makes it look much more natural in post. Click the Apply to Blog button when you're done adding.

Note This only scales images to their original size. To resize images to other sizes and apply this change to ALL images added to your posts, add the following CSS:

.post-body-image {
Width: 100%;
Height: 100%;
screen lock;
}

Note that for posts with images that move to the right or left of the content, they automatically fill the full width.

Step 3: Write a message

After making file size and CSS changes, you can return to the post editor and repeat step 1 to add an image. When you return to the size request screen, click Actual Size and confirm your selection. Your new image will then appear with the settings you created to match the width of the post area.
