Flickr outages and problems

In the past 24 hours, 12 user reports came in for Flickr. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.

The busiest 15-minute window had 3 reports, about 4 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

No problems detected in the last 24 hoursReports for Flickr stayed at their usual level the whole time.

Troubleshooting

How to fix Flickr not working

Flickr is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach flickr.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Refresh Flickr or restart the app
On the web, press Ctrl+R or Cmd+R; in the mobile app, close it from the app switcher and open it again. A stuck tab or a half-loaded photo grid often clears with that one move.
Check Flickr's official status page
Open https://status.flickr.net in a browser and look for an active incident. If the page lists an outage, wait for the fix; changing your own settings will not help.
Sign out of Flickr and back in
Use the avatar menu in the top right to sign out, then sign in again. In the app, delete it and reinstall from the App Store or Google Play. That clears a bad local session.
Test Flickr on another network
Turn off any VPN, then open flickr.com on a phone using cellular data instead of your usual Wi-Fi. If the site loads there, your network is the likely cause. Restart the router and try once more.

While Flickr is down: what to use instead

Google Photos Use it to back up photos and share albums while Flickr is unavailable.
SmugMug Choose it when you need hosted galleries for sharing or displaying your photos.
500px Use it to publish photography portfolios and reach an audience focused on images.
Instagram Post selected photos there when you need a quick way to share them with followers.

Your device

Fix Flickr on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone

Flickr on Windows

Fix: Clear your browser cache and cookies, or disable extensions that might interfere with Flickr. You can also try flushing your DNS cache to resolve connection issues.
Check: Try accessing Flickr in an incognito window or using a different web browser. You can also check if the website responds to network pings from your system.

Command Prompt

ping flickr.comTest whether Flickr's servers reply

nslookup flickr.comCheck that Flickr's DNS resolves

tracert flickr.comTrace where the connection drops

ipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reload

Flickr on Mac

Fix: Clear your Safari or Chrome browsing history and ensure your macOS firewall is not blocking Flickr. Restarting your Mac can also resolve temporary local network glitches.
Check: Attempt to load Flickr on another browser, or use the Network Utility tool to test connectivity. If other websites load normally, the problem is likely on Flickr's end.

Terminal

ping -c 4 flickr.comTest whether Flickr's servers reply

nslookup flickr.comCheck that Flickr's DNS resolves

traceroute flickr.comTrace where the connection drops

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

Flickr on Android

Fix: Clear the Flickr app cache and data from your device settings, or check the Google Play Store for any pending updates. If the issue persists, try reinstalling the app.
Check: Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to see if Flickr loads, or try accessing the website using a mobile browser. If the browser works but the app does not, the app might be experiencing issues.

Flickr on iPhone and iPad

Fix: Force close and restart the Flickr app, or check the App Store to ensure you are running the latest version. Reinstalling the Flickr app can also resolve persistent connection errors.
Check: Check if you can access Flickr using Safari, or toggle Airplane Mode off and on to refresh your connection. If other apps connect fine, Flickr's servers might be temporarily down.

About

What happens when Flickr goes down

Flickr is a photo hosting and sharing service where photographers keep albums, back up originals, and post to groups. When it falters, uploads stall, thumbnails fail to load, and the site or app may not open for you at all.

Flickr problems usually hit one part of the service first, so the home page can load while uploads and individual photo pages stay blank. Mobile apps break in their own way: sign-in hangs, the feed shows gray boxes where thumbnails should be, and Flickr Mail or group posts may refuse to send. Uploads stall. Your image never reaches the photostream, and reports cluster by region or by platform, so one area can recover while another waits.

Questions

Flickr FAQ

Is Flickr down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether reports are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. The official status page linked above can confirm a service-wide problem. To tell whether the problem is only on your side, try the same account on another network, such as mobile data instead of Wi-Fi, and open a different site.

Why do my Flickr uploads fail in the mobile app?

Give the app access to your photos, check free storage space, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and restart your phone. When the app shows an upload failed message, try a smaller file or edit the photo before sending it again. Sign out and back in if the failure repeats.

Why does Flickr show a Bad, bad panda page?

That page appears when a server-side request fails, so the problem is usually with the service and not your device. Refresh after a minute or check the official status page linked above. If it keeps happening on every photo and page, note the time and contact the help centre.

Why won't my Flickr photos load in an embedded gallery on my site?

If the photo is private or restricted, the embed will stay blank. Check the photo's privacy settings and make sure the album allows sharing. Some browsers block third-party images when tracking protection is on, so test the same page in another browser. If the photo was deleted or moved, the embed shows an unavailable message.

Why did my Flickr Pro renewal payment fail?

A card can fail because it expired, your bank blocked the charge, the billing address changed, or the card hit its limit. Update the payment method in your account settings, then wait for the next billing attempt. If the charge still fails, contact the help centre with the date and the last four digits of the card.

How we track Flickr

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Flickr, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Flickr, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Flickr's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
