About Flickr | We’re the real deal.

Annie Spratt

Flickr was founded in 2004 as a revolutionary new kind of community: one committed to elevating the memories, artistry, and impact of photography online.

Over the two decades since our founding, we’ve never lost sight of what makes this place so special:

Inspiration

We’ve got gorgeous photography representing every single subject, technique, style, genre, sub-genre, and sub-sub genre in the world. If you can’t find inspiration on Flickr, it’s not for lack of material.

Connection

There’s a passionate community for everyone here, powered by the kinds of tools that make it easy (and fun!) to co-create, to teach, to learn, to curate, and to grow as a photographer.
