Flickr has undergone major changes.

The developers of the Flickr service changed the design of the service, plus changed some components of the platform itself. It is worth noting that the number of uploaded photos on flickr reached 7 billion. To make uploading photos more convenient, developers have added a faster HTML5 downloader.

Thanks to the new platform, it became possible to upload photos more easily, simply drag and drop. So instead of working with all sorts of windows, photos can simply be dragged into the browser window, with an open service, and get the desired result. now added thumbnails to view uploaded photos. Photos can be enlarged, reduced, rotated or sorted in the downloader.

In addition, descriptions, tags and other information can be added to photos upon upload. It is possible to change the type of license for uploaded photos. According to the developers, now the photos are loaded 20-30% faster (on average), for foreign users (apparently, users from outside the US are meant) the download is 50-60% faster. The size of the uploaded photo is increased to 50 MB (for pro-users) and up to 30 MB for regular users with a free account.



It is worth noting that currently Flickr is one of the most popular services from Yahoo.
