Flickr's New Image Limits: What You Need to Know

As a valued member of the Flickr community, you may have noticed recent changes to the platform's image limits. Starting May 1, 2022, we will begin enforcing new restrictions on moderate and restricted content for free accounts. In this article, we'll provide an overview of what these changes mean for your account and offer resources to help you navigate the transition.

What are Moderate and Restricted Images?

Before we dive into the details, let's clarify what constitutes moderate and restricted images on Flickr. These types of content typically include images that may be considered explicit, violent, or offensive. If your free account contains any such images after May 1st, they will be considered a violation of our terms of service and subject to removal.

What Does This Mean for My Account?

If you have moderate or restricted images on your free account, please note that we will begin enforcing these new limits starting May 1st. This means that any content deemed inappropriate will no longer be allowed on the platform. We understand this may impact some users, and we're committed to providing resources and support throughout this transition.

Why Are These Changes Necessary?

Our mission at Flickr is to create a safe, inclusive global community for photography enthusiasts. To achieve this, we need to ensure that our platform remains respectful and welcoming for all members. By enforcing these new limits, we can maintain an environment where users feel comfortable sharing their work and connecting with others.

How Can I Provide Feedback?

We value your input and appreciate the feedback you've shared about these changes so far. To continue this conversation, please reach out to our Support Team, participate in group discussions, or engage on social media using relevant hashtags. Your passion for Flickr inspires us to keep improving, and we're committed to listening to your concerns.

What Resources Are Available?

We understand that change can be challenging, and we want to support you every step of the way. In the coming weeks, we'll provide a range of resources, including FAQs, tutorials, and community guidelines, to help you adapt to these new limits. We're committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for all members.

We're grateful for your dedication to Flickr and your passion for photography. As we move forward with implementing these changes, we want to assure you that our team is working hard to ensure a seamless transition.
