Popular photo-sharing website Flickr unveiled their biggest redesign to date, providing users with better access to user images, as well as tweaking the navigation aspects.
“In the beginning, Flickr innovated the way people share and discover photos. Today, we are shifting the photo-sharing landscape again. We’re releasing a Flickr that’s more spectacular, much bigger, and one you can take anywhere,” Flickr wrote on their blog.
The company also unveiled that current users will each receive 1TB of free data storage space, which is enough to store over 500 000 images.
“At Flickr, we believe you should share all your images in full resolution, so life’s moments can be relived in their original quality. No limited pixels, no cramped formats, no memories that fall flat. We’re giving your photos room to breathe, and you the space to upload a dizzying number of photos and videos, for free. Just how big is a terabyte? Well, you could take a photo every hour for forty years without filling one. And yep, you heard us. It’s free,” it added.
With the redesign, users will see their images in an updated photostream, which displays the photos in a tile fashion, making viewing and navigation easier.
“We want Flickr to be the most amazing community and place for you to share your photos. So, we’re also revealing a beautiful new design that puts photos at the heart of your Flickr experience, where they should always be. Whether it’s a sweeping landscape or a family portrait, we want every photo to be at its most spectacular.”
