Are there limits on file sizes or file types for uploads?
With a free account, you can upload photos up to 15MB in size, or 2 videos per month- up to 150MB for each video. If you have a Pro account, you can upload photos up to 20MB and videos up to 500MB in size. For more on video files and types supported, please visit theVideo FAQ
Flickr officially supports JPEGs, non-animated GIFs, and PNGs. You can also upload TIFFs and some other file types, but they will automatically be converted to and stored in JPEG format.
As you publish photos, they're compressed and resized by Flickr (if necessary) in the following sizes:
- 75x75 pixels
- 100 pixels (on the longest side)
- 240 pixels
- 500 pixels
- Large (which will be 1024 pixels if it exceeds that length)
- The original size (if you have a pro account)
To access all of these sizes for a photo, click the "All Sizes" link on the individual photo page.
If you have a pro account, we also store your high-resolution originals, which you can download at anytime as long as you remain Pro. Anyone can access public photos and download the high-resolution (original) size from a Pro account, unless you limit access to the downloadable image.
