Imgur Pro is now free for everyone.

In honor of the 6th birthday, the popular photo hosting and social network Imgur makes “Imguryans” a generous gift . Paid "professional" accounts are eliminated, and the Pro features are now completely free for all users.

What everyone gets from today:

• Storing the number of images on the account: it used to be 225, now without any restrictions at all.
• Full variety of thumbnail generation (thumbnail) for all pictures.
• Access to analytics and referrer statistics.
• Editing and deleting images at any time.
• The 200 MB limit for animated GIF (and once there was a limit of 2 MB).

Of course, with its decision Imgur offends the current owners of paid accounts who have paid money in advance ($ 2.99 per month; $ 23.95 per year).

In addition, you need to pay attention to the pitfalls for the former owners of paid accounts.

1. Previously, professional account holders were not shown advertisements, but now they will be shown to everyone (well, this is decided by the blocker in the browser, although they promise to “professionals” still not to show advertisements until the plans expire).
2. The maximum size of photos for former owners of paid accounts is reduced from 10 to 5 MB, as it used to be for “freebies”
3. Compulsory compression of filled images takes effect, which was not done before for paid accounts.

Refunds are possible for those who have paid for the service in the past 30 days. It is not clear what to do to those who paid the account for a year 31 or more a day ago? Is it really called the vulgar word "kidalovo"?
