I’m considering cancelling my Flickr Pro subscription. I currently have about 14 GB of photos stored there. If I switch back to the free plan, will I still be able to upload new photos, and what happens to the photos already in my account? Will older images remain viewable/editable, or can they be deleted?

If you stop your subscription in Flickr:

  1. You can upload if you have less than 1000 photos/videos. If you have more you will not be able to upload new. Not sure about editing. You can of course delete photos.
  2. After some period your oldest photos will be deleted till you reach the count of 1000. The deletion will start (AFAIK) from the oldest to the newest.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.

If you cancel Flickr Pro, the main limit is the free-plan photo/video count, not your current storage size in GB. Based on the community answer, you can keep uploading only if your account has fewer than 1,000 photos/videos. If you have more than that, you won’t be able to add new uploads unless you reduce the total.

Your existing photos do not disappear immediately, but after some time Flickr may begin deleting the oldest items until your account is back down to 1,000 photos/videos. You should still be able to delete photos yourself. The reply was uncertain about editing, so the safest assumption is: don’t rely on full Pro features after cancellation, and back up anything important before downgrading.

In short: under 1,000 items, you can continue uploading on the free plan; over 1,000, new uploads stop, and older photos may eventually be removed starting with the oldest.
