Flickr Hack – View Highest Resolution Photo

Advertisement

Flickr Logo

Not all photo in Flickr comes with "All Size" option, and in case they don’t you are still able to view the biggest size photo, which means the actual size of the uploaded photo. Here’s how you do it provided you have a Firefox Browser.

Steps to generate full size photo in Flickr

  1. Copy these codes
  2. Right click on browser tab, choose New Bookmark
    Create New Bookmark

  3. Give the bookmark a name and paste the codes inside Location
    Create New Bookmark

  4. Done! On any Flickr photo that does not have the Flickr All Size icon, simply click on the button created and you will be given the highest resolution (original) of the particular photo.
  5. And if the above don’t work, drag Flickr Original to your Firefox Bookmark Toolbar

    Doesn’t seem to work for me? Nothing happens when I click on it. I tried it on a Flickr photo that does have “All Sizes” link but with no link to the original resolution. Does this only work with photos that do not have that “All Sizes” button?

    I’ve put the codes in a text file, better still drag the “Flickr Original” to Bookmark Toolbar.

    it works, but it doesn’t get the “Original” resolution photos. it gets the “Large” resolution!

    is there a way to get the original resolution photos?

    It seems that Flickr has taken some action to prevent this from happening, the download links for the same picture but of different size are not sequential anymore.

    I get big version of the picture, not original size. It means when there is “All Sizes” button I get bigger photos pressing that button than I get by using this hack. However, hack is neat when there is no All Size button.
