❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Tumblr Image Sizing FAQs

For Tumblr dashboard feed posts, the standard display width is 540 px, but uploading at 1280 × 1920 px ensures ultra-crisp lightbox expansion. For blog header banners, use 3000 × 1055 px. For blog avatars, use 128 × 128 px or 512 × 512 px.

Tumblr scales all dashboard images down to 540 pixels in feed view. If you upload an image over 10MB or larger than 2048px, Tumblr's image processor downsamples it aggressively. Pre-sizing your image to 1280px or 540px wide in sRGB prevents loss of quality.

For still photography, use high-quality JPEG in sRGB. For artwork, digital drawings, and transparent graphics, use PNG. For animated images, Tumblr supports animated GIFs up to 3MB and up to 540px wide.
