Download many pictures from Flickr, fast, best?

[Marianne Little]

I was playing with the thought of going Pro when I saw Flickr had increased the price to 60 US for a year. Seriously, that is a lot. Maybe I must pay VAT too.

I should download all my pictures from before 2015, I think. I read some ways of doing it, unsure about what's best. I want them downloaded in the largest size of course... You who have come close to 1000 pictures, how did you do it?

Because it is no way I am paying that much for Flickr Pro.

Or make another free account on flickr and move pics onto those

If the photos are not already in albums it shouldn't take long to create a 'pre-2015' album and use Flickr's Organizr tool to move them all into there, then use the instructions at that link to download the album as a zip file. (You may need to create several albums, as you can only download a maximum of 500 photos at a time.)

Yes. I have thought about that. But is not that so I must upload them again, and everybody see them again and think I am desperate for likes, because I upload old material?

I have thought about one "avatar" account and another "home and garden" account.

Would that be a good idea?

I am surprised Flickr allow that, honestly. But I read about on net and it is allowed as you say. For now...

People have business and personal Flickr accounts so I see no reason not to have one for avatar and one for home and garden.

I started a new account. My original account existed before the limits, I deleted about 3000 pictures to get under the limit when that started, though there were a lot of very similar pictures, different angles of the same scene, I would pick the best and get rid of the rest. Eventually it got very hard to find pictures i was wiling to part with. At that time I just made a new account, but that new account is now over 900 pictures so I m going to have issues eventually.
