What happens to my photos if I cancel my Flickr subscription?

When a user cancels their Flickr subscription, the treatment of their photos depends on the current plan and the storage used. Flickr offers different tiers, including free and paid subscriptions. If a user is on a paid subscription and decides to cancel it, they will be downgraded to a free account. This means that their photo storage limit will now align with the free account's constraints. The restrictions of a free account include a limit on the number of photos that can be uploaded, specifically up to one thousand photographs. If a user’s collection exceeds that limit upon downgrading, it is important to note that the photos beyond the one thousand mark may become inaccessible. However, the user will not lose those photos immediately, but they will need to either delete enough images to remain within the limit or upgrade back to a paid plan to retain them all. Furthermore, all photos uploaded to Flickr will remain on the platform regardless of paid or free status, unless a user decides to delete them actively. It is always wise to back up important images elsewhere, as a precaution, even if they remain on Flickr. Users may want to check the current terms and conditions on the Flickr website for the most accurate and up-to-date information concerning their account status and photos.
