If you prefer to download your photos by camera roll, it's not too different. Facebook reacts to live-streamed footage of the deadly New Zealand mass shooting that was posted on its platform. Mar 22, 2018 - READY to ditch Facebook? You'll want to download all of your photos before you kill the app. Facebook makes it possible to scoop up all of.

If you have over 1,000 photos on the image-hosting site Flickr, this is VERY IMPORTANT. You need to download those photos NOW, or they will be DELETED. Yes, that sucks. It sucks a lot! You don’t want to lose your photos, so pull up your big boy pants and actually log in to Flickr and take care of this TODAY. IAM YELLING AT YOU RIGHT NOW! DO IT!

Here’s the rundown: In April 2018, Yahoo sold Flickr to a company called SmugMug, which has been around a long time, mainly as a professional photographers site. All was well and fine, at first.

Then, in November, SmugMug-owned Flickr announced that it planned to end the free unlimited image storage the site offered users, starting Jan. 8 (that’s today, bitches). From now on, Flickr will only host 1,000 photos for free, and if you have more than that uploaded to the site, it will stop displaying them. You also won’t be able to upload any more photos to your account if you’ve hit that 1,000 limit.

As of today, you have two options: Keep your photos up and pay for a Pro account ($50/year).

Or, download them and be on your merry way, to do whatever you want to do with those weird photos you had on there in 2009. Unfortunately, if you had meticulously organized your photos on Flickr with albums and sets, all that organization will be lost. You’ll just get your photo files and some basically meaningless .json files with metadata.

For the next few weeks, Flickr won’t delete your extra photos, but it will hide them. But starting Feb. 5: IT WILL DELETE YOUR PHOTOS!!!!! Starting with the oldest photos, it will purge them from the site, and you won’t be able to recover them.

Here’s how to download your photos from Flickr:

First, log in. Yes, I know you may have forgotten your old Yahoo login, but bite the bullet and do the password reset.

Go into your user account > Settings.
