What are the limits for Free accounts?
Free accounts are not allowed to:
- Post content with Moderate or Restricted Safety Levels. Free accounts are limited to posting Safe content only.
- Post Commercial content. Only our Pro members are permitted to engage in commercial activity.
- Store more than 50 Non-Public photos or videos. Non-Public consists of Private & Friends and Family photos.
- Upload over 1,000 items.
Free account limits apply to all content on Flickr regardless of Privacy Setting. This includes posts marked as Friends and/or Family and Private. Content that exceeds these limits is at risk of suspension or deletion.
Want more flexibility? Upgrade to Pro to post Moderate, Restricted or Commercial content, and for unlimited storage, ad-free browsing, and advanced stats.

What happens if my account violates these limits?
If your account contains content that exceeds the Free account limits:
- Your account may be temporarily suspended.
- You’ll receive a notice via email and FlickrMail from our Trust & Safety team.
We may terminate the accounts of members who repeatedly violate Flickr’s guidelines or refuse to address non-compliant content.
How can I bring my account into compliance?
To restore your account, you can:
- Continue using Flickr without limits.
- Upload Moderate or Restricted content.
- Post more than 1,000 items.
- Use your account for commercial activity.
Upgrading to Prowill automatically remove the suspensions for Moderate, Restricted or Commercial Content from your account.
2. Remove non-compliant content
See more about locating content, changing privacy settings, downloading content, and deleting content.
Once non-compliant content has been removed, contact Trust & Safety to request review.
Received a suspension or warning email in error?
If you believe your account is in compliance and you’ve received a suspension or warning email in error, please contact us to confirm your account’s standing.
What happens if I do nothing?
If your account is suspended for violations of Free Account Limits, it will not be restored unless you upgrade to Pro or remove non-compliant content. In addition, further restrictions may be placed on your account, and non-compliant content or your account itself may be deleted.
