This will be an ongoing process-Flickr has tens of billions of photos, and we want to hold true to our new free account limits while impacting as few active community members as possible. This applies to Free accounts with more than 50 non-public photos (private, friends, family, or friends and family). Starting May 17, 2022, we will begin removing non-public content in violation of Flickr’s new free account limit policies. We also want to make sure you understand these changes won’t affect your ability to view or hide moderate or restricted content. Here’s how to download your photos from Flickr.įor a little more insight about safety levels on Flickr, watch this Flickr FAQs video all about setting the safety level of your images. But if you would like to keep your moderate and restricted photos safe elsewhere, we understand. To ensure the safety of your moderate and restricted content on Flickr, we recommend purchasing a Pro subscription. Restricted content is defined as images containing full-frontal nudity or sexual acts. Accounts found in violation of our limits will need to either subscribe to Flickr Pro or remove the content in violation.įor these purposes, moderate content is defined as images containing partial nudity, like bare breasts and bottoms. If your free account contains any moderate or restricted images after this date, those images will be considered a violation of our terms of service and subject to removal. Starting May 1, 2022, we will begin enforcing the new limit on moderate and restricted content on free accounts. We see you, we hear you, and we appreciate you. Please keep the feedback coming by writing our Support Team, participating in group discussions, and having conversations on social media. Your passion for Flickr is what inspires us to keep improving. We’ll walk through what you can expect in the coming weeks, and offer all the resources we can along the way.īefore we dive in, though, we want to start with a heartfelt thank you to all the community members who shared their feedback about these upcoming changes. Today we’re rolling up our sleeves and getting started with the hard work of making it happen. Last month we announced new limits for free accounts on Flickr to support our mission to create the safest, most inclusive global community for photography enthusiasts.
