Add images and videos to your blog

You can add photos, other images, and videos to any blog posts that you create.

Add an image to a blog post

Images in your blog are stored in a Google Album Archive and show up in Blogger when you’re inserting them into pages or blog posts.

Note: Uploaded photos or videos will count towards your storage limit if:

• If either the height or width of your photo exceeds 2,048 pixels.
• The video is longer than 15 minutes.

Stop images from opening in an overlay

By default, images on your blog will be opened in a large overlay, called a Lightbox. To prevent images from opening in the Lightbox:

1. Sign in to Blogger.
2. Choose the blog to update.
3. In the left menu, select SettingsPosts, comments and sharingPosts.
4. In “Showcase images with Lightbox,” choose No.

Note: If you have Dynamic Views turned on, images in your blog can only be opened by turning it off.

Delete images from an album

You can delete images from your album archive any time. If you delete an image from your blog album in the Album Archive, the image will also be deleted from your blog.

Note: If you placed a photo from a private folder on your blog, a copy may appear in both that folder and in the Album Archive. If you want to remove such a photo from the Album Archive completely, you should delete it from both places: the private folder and the blog album in the Album Archive.
