At that time, Flickr users were told that they have until May 25, 2018, to either accept the new terms of service from SmugMug or download their photo files from Flickr and close their accounts. Here is an excerpt from the email that was sent to Flickr users:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We think you are going to love Flickr under SmugMug ownership, but you can choose to not have your Flickr account and data transferred to SmugMug until May 25, 2018. If you want to keep your Flickr account and data from being transferred, you must go to your Flickr account to download the photos and videos you want to keep, then delete your account from your Account Settings by May 25, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not delete your account by May 25, 2018, your Flickr account and data will transfer to SmugMug and will be governed by SmugMug\u2019s Terms and Privacy Policy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We wanted to let our readers know of this change, and also help them download their photos if they wish to do so. To that end, we&#8217;ve updated a post we published a little over a year ago with instructions on how to download your photos from Flickr. It&#8217;s a good idea to have a backup of your photos on Flickr whether or not you plan to continue with the service.<\/p>\n<p>To read more:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.flickr.net\/en\/2018\/04\/20\/together-smugmug-flickr-faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Flickr Q&amp;A on the Acquisition<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can read Peter&#8217;s <em>updated<\/em> post from March 21, 2017, <em><strong>How to Back Up Your Flickr Library<\/strong><\/em>, below.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Editor<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a title=\"Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Flickr<\/a> is a popular photo blogging service used by pro and amateur photographers alike. Flickr helps you archive your photos in the cloud and share them publicly with others. What happens when Flickr is the only place you can find your photos, though?<\/p>\n<p>I hadn&#8217;t thought that much of that contingency. I&#8217;ve been a Flickr user since the pre-Yahoo days &#8212; 2004. I recently took stock of all the photos I&#8217;d uploaded to Flickr and realized something unsettling: I didn&#8217;t have some of these images on my Mac. It&#8217;s been 13 years and probably half a dozen computers since then, so I wasn&#8217;t surprised that <em>some<\/em> photos had fallen through the cracks.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to be better safe than sorry. I set out to backup my entire Flickr library to make sure I had everything. And I&#8217;m here to pass along what I learned.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"b2\">Flickr&#8217;s Camera Roll and Album Download Options<\/h2>\n<p>Most of Flickr&#8217;s workflow &#8212; and most of their supported apps &#8212; focus on getting images <em>into<\/em> Flickr, not out of Flickr. That doesn&#8217;t mean you <em>can&#8217;t<\/em> download images from Flickr, but it isn&#8217;t straightforward.<\/p>\n<p>You can download photos directly from Flickr using their <em>Camera Roll<\/em> view, which organizes all your photos by the date they were taken. This is Flickr&#8217;s file-management interface, letting you select photos for whichever use you wish. Once you&#8217;ve selected the photos you want using the check boxes, Flickr will create a ZIP file that you can download. You are limited to 500 photos at a time, so this could take a number of repetitions if you have a lot of photos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/flickr_camera_roll.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6a8ieQUn\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-83178 size-full\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/flickr_camera_roll.jpg\" alt=\"Flickr Camera Roll View screenshot\" width=\"1045\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/flickr_camera_roll.jpg 1045w, https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/flickr_camera_roll-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/flickr_camera_roll-1024x587.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/flickr_camera_roll-768x440.jpg 768w, https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/flickr_camera_roll-560x321.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1045px) 100vw, 1045px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The download UI once you&#8217;ve met your photo selections:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-4.14.18-PM.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-6a8ieQUn\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-83172 size-full\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-4.14.18-PM.png\" alt=\"Flickr Camera Roll options\" width=\"696\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-4.14.18-PM.png 696w, https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-4.14.18-PM-300x70.png 300w, https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-15-at-4.14.18-PM-560x130.png 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You also can download Flickr Albums.

In either case, I just set up the apps and let them run &#8212; they took a while, a couple of hours to grab everything. So if you&#8217;re working with a large archive of Flickr images, I&#8217;d recommend setting aside some time when you can leave your computer running.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"b2\">What To Do With Your Flickr Images<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ve downloaded the images to your local <a href=\"\/blog\/life-and-times-of-a-backblaze-hard-drive\/\">hard drive<\/a>. What next? Catalog what you have. Both <a title=\"macOS Photos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/macos\/photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Macs<\/a> and <a title=\"Microsoft Photos\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/p\/microsoft-photos\/9wzdncrfjbh4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PCs<\/a> include such software. The apps for each platform are both called &#8220;Photos.&#8221; They have the benefit of being free, built-in, and well-supported using existing tools and workflows.<\/p>\n<p>If the Photos apps included with your computer don&#8217;t suit you, there are other commercial app options. <a title=\"Adobe Lightroom\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/photoshop-lightroom.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adobe Photoshop Lightroom<\/a> is one of the more popular options that work with both Macs and Windows PCs. It&#8217;s included with Adobe&#8217;s $9.99 per month Creative Cloud Photography subscription (bundled with Photoshop), or you can buy it separately for $149.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"b2\">Archive Your Backup<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve downloaded all of your Flickr images, make sure they&#8217;re safe by backing them up. Back them up locally using Time Machine (on the Mac), Windows Backup or whatever means you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>Even though you&#8217;ve gotten the images from the cloud by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/b2\/docs\/downloading.html\">downloading<\/a> them from Flickr, it&#8217;d be a good idea to store a backup copy offsite just in case. That&#8217;s keeping with the guidelines of the <a title=\"3-2-1 Backup Strategy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/blog\/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3-2-1 Backup Strategy<\/a> &#8212; a solid way to make sure that nothing bad can happen to your data.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/cloud-backup\/personal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Backblaze Backup<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/b2\/sign-up.html\">B2 Cloud Storage<\/a> are both great options, of course, for backing up and archiving your media, but the main thing is to make sure your photos are safe and sound.
