Flickr was one of the main options for users when it came to storing photos. But, this week it was announced that it was acquired by SmugMug, and users will have to pay to use their storage space. Something that undoubtedly causes many to make the decision to look for other options. In this way, you can easily save the photos.
Now, we leave you with some alternatives to Flickr, so that you can save your photos easily. Each of these options gives us a series of functions, but we will tell you more about each of them below. So that you find the one that best suits you.
DeviantArt
We started with this platform that has been with us for a long time, some 18 years now, and that has managed to stay on the market despite all this time. It is a community focused on digital illustration. In addition to being one of the few that still allows to use free storage, which is undoubtedly one of the key aspects in it.
On this platform we have up to 2 GB of free storage. So we have enough space when it comes to wanting to store photos easily. In addition, if we want, we have premium plans with which we can expand this storage space without any problem. We have the web version, although there are also applications for Android and iOS available. Thus, we can access at all times.
Photobucket
Another good platform that we have to consider as an alternative to Flickr. It is a website where we can store our photos in a very simple way, but we can also expose them publicly. Also, we can print them in a really comfortable way using the platform. It gives us support for many formats, since we can upload photos, GIFs or videos in it. Which makes it very versatile.
When it comes to storage, we have up to 2 GB of free storage to upload our content. We can expand this amount through the payment plans we have. The truth is that the plans are not expensive, so it is presented as a good alternative to Flickr in this regard. Plans priced at $ 4,5-11,5. It is a platform that takes care of privacy, because if we want, we can upload the photos privately in it.
Shutterfly Photos
Another platform that probably sounds familiar to some of you, and that we can use as an alternative to Flickr. We are faced with a website where we can store our photos at all times, in addition to managing them in a very simple way. So it is a good option if what you are looking for is a way to store your photos. In this sense it is a great option.
It gives us the possibility to upload our photos with the highest resolution without any limit. We also have a great timeline, with a great design, that allows us to visualize everything that we have uploaded on the platform. Another aspect to keep in mind is that we don't have to pay for storage, but we do have to pay if we are going to use those photos for something, like creating products using those photos. It is the source of income for the platform.
Google Photos
We finish the list with a great option to keep in mind that we can use, since you probably have a Gmail account. In this case we are faced with a cloud storage platform, with which we can save our photos in a very comfortable way.
