I’m not sure if this is really the world’s largest Firefox logo but I would have to say that it is pretty close! It weighs in at 9.66MB and stretches 20502 x 19839 pixels. I mirrored the image on FileHo because I didn’t want to link to the private server that Jake sent me in the tip. I furiously tried to upload it to a photo service but Flickr only allows 5MB images for free accounts and AllYouCanUpload errored out each time despite it being a restriction-free photo service.
Once I had the image on my PC (as pictured above) I tried opening it with the Windows Picture Viewer but that crashed Vista. Then I decided to try Firefox and it slowly opened it. It took about 4-minutes for it to completely render and scale the image to the browser window, but the funny thing is that it didn’t scale it proportionally:
Eventually after it finished loading I was able to expand the image to its normal size. The scrollbars were still extremely small on my 24″ monitor (with a resolution of 1920 x 1200). I scrolled to a portion of the image that we would all be able to recognize…the nose. Here is what the nose looked like after I scaled it to fit this blog (the dimensions of the original screenshot before scaling was 1642 x 1084):
The nose was originally three times that size! For comparison sake here is a smaller version of the logo:
I was pretty amused by this. You can always play with the image yourself by downloading it here.
Thanks again for the tip Jake!
Restriction-free to a point at which their sever can handle!
Same thing happened here, but that was before COX replaced my modem tonight.
By same thing I assume you mean you tried to upload the image?
Yes, tried to upload. Haven’t tried it yet with my new SurfBoard, but I doubt it is going to make a difference.
The Fx logo is available in vector format, so you can make a bigger image if you want…
You can get Firefox logo in Adobe Illustrator (or EPS) format. It is vector graphics, so it is scalable to any size, unlimited. Here it is:

Hey, SLA thanks for the link, I won’t risk trying to load this image in Photoshop !!
Hey Ryan, if you use the file converter from a previous post to convert png > jpg, you can try uploading to Yahoo!’s free “unlimited” photo storage (photos.yahoo.com).
I knew it had to be available in vector graphics but I looked all over and couldn’t find anything. Thanks for the link!
[en.wikipedia.org] it is in standard SVG format, for those who don’t have Illustrator.
Well, on wikipedia, there’s a SVG of the firefox logo. SVG = Scalable Vector Graphics. These graphics can be scaled to any size you want to. So…
