Flickr to Limit Free Accounts to 1,000 Images, Gives Pro Accounts More Benefits

From Flickr:

Let’s be candid. Flickr at its best is a place to connect, to discover, and to evolve as photographers and lovers of photography. This is the world’s largest photographer-focused community. Here, together, this newly-independent community can shape the future of photography itself.

Today we are announcing updates to Flickr’s Pro and Free account offerings.

Flickr Pro is better than ever. For only $49.99 per year, get unlimited storage, ad-free browsing, advanced stats, an unmatched community, and more.

• Unlimited Storage. The only limit is your imagination. Upload as many photos as you can take, always at true full resolution.
• Ad-free Browsing. Focus on what matters. A fully ad-free Flickr experience for you and your visitors.
• Advanced Stats. See which of your photos are trending now, and which have performed the best over the life of your Flickr Pro account.

Plus all these great new Pro-only features.

• Premier Support - Skip the line. Flickr Pros now receive priority assistance from our new world-class support team. Available now.
• More Partner Discounts - Save on photography essentials. Discounts on Creative Cloud from Adobe, 50% off a custom portfolio site on SmugMug, gear from Peak Design, and many more. Coming November.
• Advanced Stats on Mobile - Stats in your pocket. All the photo stats you know and love, available in-app. Coming November.
• Increased Exposure - All Pro members as of January 1, 2019 are eligible for priority exposure in the next iteration of Explore. Coming early 2019.
• New 5K Photo Display Option - Look your best. Your images are beautifully optimized for any screen, from smartphone to jumbotron. Pro images display at resolutions up to 5K. Coming early 2019.
• 10 Minute Videos - More time to tell your story. Play back videos for up to 10 minutes, increased from 3. Coming early 2019.

Hands down the best deal in photos.

Unlimited storage, ad-free browsing, and a global community of over 100 million photographers for less than half the cost of Apple, Amazon, or Google. Sign up today and get 30% off the first year. Discount available through November 30.

Free accounts will soon be limited to 1,000 photos or videos. Flickr isn’t Flickr without the contributions and participation of our free members, and we remain committed to a vibrant free offering.

If you are a free member with more than 1,000 photos or videos, you will have ample time to upgrade to Pro (for 30% off your first year) or download your photos and videos. Read more about this decision.

New simple login! Coming in January, there will be no need for a Yahoo account to use Flickr.
