Today, February 5th, 2019 is the day that Flickr will stop offering 1TB of free storage. Instead, the firm will only allow users to store 1,000 photos for free of cost. And if you’ve got more than 1,000 photos, the firm will start deleting them.

That means that today, now, maybe even this moment, is your last chance to cough up $49.99 per year for a Flickr Pro account to stay away from imminent deletion. Or else you can just download your photos from Flickr to a hard drive and upload them somewhere else.
