May 2013 update: new interface apparently very overloaded and masses of pro users abandoning the place, deleting their profiles and/or wishing to archive it. Seems to be stable, can probably change at any time. gallery-dl downloads images from many photo galleries, including Flickr, without an API key.flickr2ia: backup photos (not videos) and metadata (not comments).If you have your iPhoto connected with your Flickr account, you can back up your pictures on Flickr through iPhoto.easyflickrbackup backup all your photos from Flickr.backup-all-my-flickr-photos downloads all your Flickr photos and videos.Pagination is not handled yet, so if you have any sets with more than 500 photos or comments they won't all be downloaded. flickr-backup backups Flickr photosets, photos, and JSON metadata.It also does not preserve order of photos in photostream (though you can emulate it sorting by upload timestamp) and order of albums in collections. It mirrors images, titles, description, tags, albums and collections. flickrmirrorer is a small command-line python script that creates a local backup of your Flickr data.Based on flickrtouchr, it also backs up flickr metadata, storing it as EXIF tags within the images. This blog post documents the flickrbackup tool.

"We've gone to great lengths to optimize Flickr for cost savings wherever possible, but the increasing cost of operating this enormous community and continuing to invest in its future will require a small price increase early in the new year, so this is truly the very best time to upgrade your membership to Pro." "But it's not yet making enough.We cannot continue to operate it at a loss as we've been doing."įlickr is home to over 100 million accounts and tens of billions of photos, he says, offering ad-free browsing and sharing that doesn't include social media tracking, like Facebook. "It's losing a lot less money than it was," he says. That change began at the beginning of the year. His solution to make it viable was to eliminate free accounts for storing thousands of photos and convert users into paying customers, at $50 yearly. Yahoo's new owner Verizon sold it to MacAskill in 2017.īut Flickr is still losing money. "Is this the right way to go? We're about to find out."įlickr is one of the earliest photo sharing sites, and was purchased by Yahoo in 2005, and it fell on hard times.
More importantly, MacAskill says he wrote the letter to get honest feedback from customers on whether they're interested in Flickr continuing. He says less than 1% have signed up for the Pro accounts, and that if he could get just over 1%, that would be enough to keep the lights on. "But we do need to get more cash in the door." "It's not that dire," MacAskill tells U.S. Together, we created the world's largest photographer-focused community: A place where photographers can stand out and fit in." "So, we took a big risk, stepped in, and saved Flickr. In his note, he talks about how his family-run firm SmugMug two years ago bought Flickr from Yahoo, where it "was losing tens of millions of dollars a year." He says SmugMug rescued the company, and saved "tens of billions" of photos from being erased. MacAskill wants people to sign up for $50 yearly subscriptions, which he's offering at holiday discounts of $36, and notes that the price will be going up next year. His plea begins like this: "Flickr-the world's most-beloved, money-losing business-needs your help." So, it was refreshing to read this honest take on the fate of photo enthusiast website Flickr from the company's owner, Don MacAskill, on Thursday.
