== Backup Tools ==<br />
<br />
* [http://sunkencity.org/flickredit Flickr Edit] includes Flickr Backup<br />
* [http://hsivonen.iki.fi/photobackup/ Photo and Metadata Backup for Flickr]<br />
* This [http://hivelogic.com/articles/view/backing-up-flickr blog post] documents the [http://github.com/dan/hivelogic-flickrtouchr/tree/master flickrtouchr Flickr backup tool]. It backs up the full sized versions of your images but it doesn't currently backup metadata.<br />
* This [http://tiagovaz.org/posts/flickr_backup_tool_in_Debian/ blog post] documents the [https://github.com/tiagovaz/flickrbackup flickrbackup tool]. Based on flickrtouchr, it also backs up flickr metadata, storing it as EXIF tags within the images.<br />
* http://straup.github.com/parallel-flickr/<br />
* [https://github.com/markdoliner/flickrmirrorer flickrmirrorer] is a small command-line python script that creates a local backup of your Flickr data. It mirrors images, titles, description, tags, albums and collections. It does not backup comments. It also does not preserve order of photos in photostream (though you can emulate it sorting by upload timestamp) and order of albums in collections.<br />
* [https://github.com/drtoast/flickr-backup flickr-backup] backups Flickr photosets, photos, and JSON metadata. Pagination is not handled yet, so if you have any sets with more than 500 photos or comments they won't all be downloaded. <br />
* [https://github.com/Flimm/backup-all-my-flickr-photos backup-all-my-flickr-photos] downloads all your Flickr photos and videos.<br />
* [https://github.com/lutana-de/easyflickrbackup easyflickrbackup] backup all your photos from Flickr.<br />
* If you have your iPhoto connected with your Flickr account, you can back up your pictures on Flickr through iPhoto.<br />

== Vital Signs ==<br />
<br />
Seems to be stable, can probably change at any time.<br />
<br />
May 2013 update: [http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157633547442506/ new interface]; apparently very overloaded and masses of pro users abandoning the place, deleting their profiles and/or wishing to archive it.<br />
<br />
Nov 2014 update: Yahoo's step to [http://online.wsj.com/articles/fight-over-flickrs-use-of-photos-1416875564 sell the CC-licensed pictures] upset a lot of users (who obviously did not understand this license) and may now want to delete their accounts (with up to 10k images each).<br />
<br />
Dec 2015 update: Yahoo!'s Action Plan in their [http://www.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/yahoopresentation.pdf 2015 shareholder presentation] mentions killing Flickr.<br />
<br />
May 2018 update: Flickr [https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/apr/23/flickr-bought-by-smugmug-yahoo-breakup is bought by SmugMug].<br />
<br />
Nov 2018 update: Free accounts with over 1000 pictures are going to be frozen on Jan 8, 2019, and trimmed to the first 1000 pictures only on Feb 5, 2019, with all the remaining pictures to be deleted on that day.<ref>{{url|https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/1/18051950/flickr-1000-photo-limit-free-accounts-changes-pro-subscription-smugmug}}</ref><br />
Creative Commons is working with SmugMug to preserve the freely licensed (and public domain?) images.<ref>{{url|https://creativecommons.org/2018/11/01/flickr-2/}}</ref> Flickr has promised not to delete images that were already uploaded with a Creative Commons license before November 1, 2018.<ref>{{url|https://twitter.com/ryanmerkley/status/1060205766164938752}}</ref><ref>{{url|http://blog.flickr.net/2018/11/07/the-commons-the-past-is-100-part-of-our-future/}}</ref><br />
