You’ll have to go back and reorganise them yourself, which might be a little annoying.

If you relied on Flickr’s albums to keep your many photos organised, you’ll find that Flickr’s archive doesn’t care-it’s a dump of your photos, period. You’ll get an email when your archive is ready for downloading, and you can always check this page for the link if you’re feeling impatient.įlickr” loading=”lazy” > Screenshot: David Murphy, Flickr Simply visit your Account page, look in the bottom-right corner for the option to request your data, click the button, and wait a few hours (or many hours) for Flickr to process your request. If you don’t care about keeping your photos organised into albums, you can use Flickr’s “Your Flickr Data” section in its Settings to grab every piece of information the service stores about you-” including account preferences, profile information, and your photos and videos,” Flickr notes. It’s not that hard of a process, and it’ll ensure that you don’t miss a thing. You can still do this using any number of apps, but I recommend grabbing your photos directly from Flickr’s website. Previously, you had to turn to some kind of third-party tool to grab all your photos (or manually download batches of photos or individual albums directly from Flickr itself). (That, or maybe it’s time to move all your photos to another service.) How to download all your photos from Flickr If you don’t want to pay $70 each year for Flickr Pro - which frees you of these limitations and throws in other fun features like ad-free browsing, video uploads of up to 10 minute each, and a bevy of stats - you’re probably going to want to prune your account manually. Deletions continue until your account reaches 1,000 photos. Starting Tuesday, February 5, Flickr will start deleting photos (oldest first) for free users over the 1,000-photo limit. Starting Tuesday, January 8, free users over the 1,000-photo limit will be unable to upload new photos to Flickr. Ignore Flickr’s new guidelines, and here’s what you’ll face over the next few months:

The era of the free terabyte of Flickr storage is coming to an end. These photos can be any size you want, but you only get a thousand of them. Flickr isn’t going away, but a lot of your photos will be if you don’t follow its new limitations: 1,000 photos, period.
