With all that happening, users are left out with only two options – either to upgrade to a paid plan (starting at $50 each year) or migrate to some other photo-sharing service. In addition to that, Flickr will start deleting photos (oldest to newest) until the count gets reduced to a thousand, starting February 5, 2019. Besides, users who already have a thousand images on their ‘free’ account will no longer be able to upload new images starting January 8, 2019. According to the new ‘free’ plan, users can only upload up to a thousand images per account. With SmugMug coming into the picture, Flickr is imposing a storage cap on the number of images that can be uploaded on its ‘free’ plan. However, things have changed since then – with Verizon acquiring Yahoo in the year 2017 and SmugMug coming in to acquire Flickr earlier this year.

Among these changes, the one that caught a lot of eyeballs was the addition of 1 terabyte of free storage for all Flickr users. Following this acquisition, a lot of changes were made to the platform, like design changes, an increase in storage capacity, and the inclusion of some nifty features. In the year 2005, Yahoo acquired Ludicorp and Flickr, which led to tonnes of data migrated from servers back in Canada to servers in the United States. For the most part, it has less to do with the acquisition and more with the limit cap that is being imposed on the uploading of images.įounded in 2004, Flickr has gone through a few ownership changes. If the pixel count is too low, wait a few minutes and check again.Flickr, the most popular image hosting service by Ludicorp, has been making a lot of rounds in the news lately. Check the pixel count after adding to library. Warning: There have been reports of reduced pixel count when using "Add to library." It seems that the smaller copies are replaced by larger copies in the shared album after some time. Open the link in the new account and "Join" the album. The photos will be added to an album, but not transferred again (no duplicates, but it is good to check).Īlbums shared with you will have to be transferred manually. You can also first use method C (Share library) which already transfers all photos/videos, and restore albums later using this method B. Please have a backup of your entire collection in case anything should go wrong while sharing. "Comments" and "Likes" can also not be transferred. You will have to add or copy it manually. When a date/time was changed, the changed date is also transferred.Īny additional information added to the album (text, maps, locations) cannot be transferred. "Descriptions" added in Google Photos or "Captions" added in Picasa Web Albums are also transferred. You will find the photos in the "Sharing" tab in the other account, where you can "Save" them to Google Photos, but not add them directly to an album.

You can select photos and click Share > "Send in Google photos". Share selected photos by "Send in Google Photos" Or only add the photos to the Photos tab by clicking on the "Save photos" icon (cloud with down arrow) If the photos were already saved to account 2 (for example using the "Share library" method) they will not be added again to the timeline, but are still added to the album. The photos are now added to the album, and automatically also added to the library of account 2. Select all photos in the album (or the ones you want to transfer).Ĭlick the + icon ("Add to"), and select "Album" > "New album". Go to a browser window where you are signed in to account 2, and open the album


Click the "Share" icon > "Get link" or "Copy" when already created
