Is Flickr free?

There will always be a free account available on Flickr. Our free accounts do have certain limits on them, like how much you can upload per month (100MB), and how many of your photos show at one time (200). Find out more about free account limits here.

You can also upgrade to what we call a pro account; our premium service. For just US$24.95 a year, all limits associated with a free account are removed. Holy Smokes! That’s cheap.

Are there limits on Flickr?

There are only limits if you have a free account, except for the one limit of pro accounts: no individual image you upload can be bigger than 10MB.

Why are all my photos from Yahoo! Photos private?

That’s to give you control over what you choose to make public over on Flickr. We’ve written a little tool to help you change privacy of your photos all at once, if you like. Here's more information about how privacy works on Flickr, for your information.

What’s a photostream?

One of the reasons that Flickr is a bit different to the other photo sharing sites out there is that it has a strong sense of time, immediacy and using the site to give people updates on what you doing as it happens. The photostream reflects this.

Even though you’re welcome to sort your photos in sets or collections and we also show them in an archive view etc, your photostream will always show the most recent photo at the top. Incidentally, it’s possible to rearrange your main photos page using a few different layouts so you can focus on your photos in different ways.
