About Flickr
Flickr is a photo hosting and sharing service built around a community of photographers. Members upload and organize their pictures, share them publicly and follow the work of others.
A free account is available, and Flickr Pro adds unlimited storage, ad-free browsing, advanced stats and discounts. It suits photographers who want an online home for their work and an audience, rather than a private backup.
