Picture collecting on T*mblr sites

Zapster · #1 10-27-2015, 02:12 PM

Most of you probably know this, but I'm often surprised about some of the little things folks don't know....

If you are going through T*mblr sites to look for pictures, LOT's of photo's shown are smaller than what is actually available... Look @ the URL of the picture link, and if it ends in "_500.jpg", there's decent chance there is a larger version available. Open the image with "open image in new window", and then change the URL to "_1280.jpg"....Quite often you'll get the bigger version. I don't know why people post the smaller versions, but they do.

Hope this helps someone.

When you use Firefox check out the extension Tumblr Hi-res. This will automatically show highest res pictures when you open them in a new tab

And also don't forget Google image search. Enter the image search and then click on the little camera icon. Then drag your small picture. Almost always there wil be a bigger one out there.
