Regardless of your account type, though, put some careful thought into choosing your very best images and post those - preferably one per day. Don’t flood your photostream with your entire photo collection all at once, especially if you’re a free user. Well, that is not likely to happen but in all your excitement, it is important to remember that selectivity and moderation are your friends. So, you’re amped to get started on Flickr and garner the type of attention that will translate into international notoriety. Free users can also place images in a maximum of 10 group pools (more about groups later).įor a yearly fee of $24.95USD, Pro users enjoy unlimited uploads, bandwidth, and storage you’ll also get access to view count and referral statistics and the freedom to post your photos in up to 60 group pools. So, at the very least, you have a backup of your photos. Additionally, your viewable photostream is limited to the 200 most recent images any other photos that you uploaded previously will remain on the site and you will have access to an active link for those photos, but you will not be able to see them. Free accounts are allotted 300 MB worth of images and 2 videos per month. With anything bearing the “free” label there are limitations, but you may find these limitations quite reasonable and perfectly suited to your needs.

Flickr offers users two account options - Free or Pro.
