blogger limits 1

Here is some information about the limits a Blogger account has. I’ve put them into a list for your reference. I’m sure this information will come in handy at some point in your blogging future. So you might want to bookmark this post, just in case.


Account limits

  • Number of  blogs: 100 per account.
  • Profile "About Me" info length: 1,200 characters.
  • Profile Interests and Favorites: 2,000 characters in each field.
  • Number of blogs to follow: 300 blogs per account.
  • Image size (dimension)
    • Image uploaded via post editor: 1600px wide. Larger images can be uploaded but it will be scaled down to 1600px wide while preserving the aspect ratio
    • Image (for background) uploaded via Template Designer > Background page: No limit
  • Image filesize (byte)
    • Image uploaded via post editor: 8MB
    • Image (for background) uploaded via Template Designer > Background page: 300kB
    • Uploaded via Blogger Mobile 250KB
  • Capacity of image hosting (on Blogger partner Picasa Web Albums): 1024MB per account
  • Bandwidth of image hosting: No limit.

      Blog limits

      • Length of blog title: 90 characters.
      • Length of subdomain name (as in http://SUBDOMAIN.blogspot.com): 37 characters.
      • Length of blog description: 500 characters.
      • Number of members: 100 member invitations per blog.
      • Number of readers (for a private blog): 100 per blog.
      • Number of posts: No limit. (However, currently the Edit posts list maxes out at 5000 posts, which could make some older posts inaccessible for editing. Blogger is working on a fix).
      • Number of posts displayed on multiple-post pages (homepage, archive etc.):
        Blogger will attempt to display the number of posts as set in Settings > Formatting > Show At Most provided the posts’ file size does not exceed the Blogger auto-pagination file size cap of 1MB.
        Bigger posts may cause fewer number of posts to be displayed.
      • Number of static pages: 20 per blog (updated Mar 2012).
      • Number of labels: 5000 unique labels per blog.

      Post limits

      • Length of individual post: No limit.
      • Size of individual post: No limit, but very large posts may run you up against the multiple-post page size limit (see above).
      • Number of labels: 20 unique labels per post.
      • Number of comments: No limit.
      • Length of post filename: 39 characters (auto-generated from post title, truncated to length).

      Other limits

      • Label length: 200 characters per label.
      • Comment length: 4,096 characters per comment.

      I hope you find the information useful. If you know a limit that’s not in the list, please share them in the comments.

      Enjoy!

    useful tips

    Selina,  March 8, 2011 11:27 AM    

    How many posts in a blog per account? I just want to know :D

    Stated under "Blog limits" heading above.

    sarahworldcook,  March 9, 2011 2:03 AM    

    So I am struggling with if it is worth buying my own domain through blogger- the only drawback to keeping the current blogger name on my blog seems to be 2 things- my name is a little long and not just what I am (blogspot.com added to it), and there is the limit for the number of readers- only 100!!! I'm not near that yet, but I hear people saying to switch early rather than later. So if I switch, will my older posts stay on the old blog website with a link- will that be a problem? Maybe this would be something for a blog post to discuss- or you can let me know if you already covered it. I'm not looking forward to moving blog posts and don't want to disrupt things too much. Thanks for your helpful posts.

    csseyah,  March 9, 2011 11:52 AM    

    many thanks for this info... now I know!!!

    Greenlava,  March 9, 2011 1:02 PM    

    @sarahworldcook
    I just want to make it clear that the number of readers is applicable only to PRIVATE blogs. By default your blog is set to Public, which means everyone can read it -unlimited readers. If you choose to private your blog, the max number of readers will stay at 100 even after you switch to custom domain.
    Once the domain changed, all your old posts will be transferred to new domain automatically and seamlessly. All done behind the scene by Blogger.

    That's important informations. I have been looking what is number of blogs per google account. Thanks ! (100 is a lot of, but how does it look in SEO if you going to link all blogs from 1 account :> )

    Greenlava,  March 29, 2011 10:38 AM    

    @Eurokody
    I don't think there is a problem from SEO point of view. The only page that contains the 100 links is your Blogger profile page (and not your blogs) and furthermore they are all nofollowed.

    Let me keep a doubt on NO LIMIT of Post Length and Post Size as i came across twice trying to post a REALLY BIG text (about 70 pages in pdf).

    Blogger was unable to save even the draft.

    Rob Holecko,  May 21, 2011 10:40 AM    

    I am trying to get it to display certain amount of labelled posts (by clicking on a link) -- I put ?max-results=100 at the end of the link but it only shows 31 before having a link for "older posts" (without the ?max-results it only displays 20). Know any other way to force it to display all of the labelled posts on one page?

    Greenlava,  May 22, 2011 10:31 AM    

    @Rob Holecko
    That must've been caused by Blogger auto pagination.
    You can't force Blogger to show all any more, not since they started auto pagination.
    Having said that, you can still increase the post count (to a certain extent) by applying Blogger "read more" to your posts.

    cool

    Sarah,  June 6, 2011 5:21 AM    

    Do you know if the 400px limitation is still in place when redirecting to a custom domain. I've heard that is now outdated, but when I tried to redirect my blog to a custom domain about a year ago, all of my images would not display - and most of them are more than 400px.

    Here is where I first read this info:

    http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=57527

    But, here is a new thread I found:

    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/thread?tid=68e817f8b5eafa63&hl=en

    Any idea? I'm ready to move to my custom domain!

    Thanks so much. LOVE this blog!

    Greenlava,  June 7, 2011 1:20 PM    

    @Sarah
    I'm sure the info is outdated.

    Thanks for the informative post. Can you tell how many visitors can blogger will able to handle. I want to know this as it's a shared hosting.

    Greenlava,  November 1, 2011 1:31 AM    

    @akash
    I would say it's pretty close to unlimited.

    pinoy,  November 14, 2011 9:58 AM    

    Thanks for the post,, nice work... correct me if im wrong but i think the max number of label is up to 2000 only..

    Greenlava,  November 14, 2011 10:54 AM    

    @pinoy
    2000 was the previous limit. It was increased to 5000 per blog in 2009.
