Pricing questions
What's included in the free plan?
Every feature, with 15 GB of storage — free forever, no credit card needed.
What's the difference between the paid plans?
Only storage. Every plan includes every feature; you upgrade purely for more room to store photos and video.
Is storage shared between photos and video?
Yes — your storage limit covers everything you upload, photos and video alike.
Do surfers, photographers, and shapers pay the same?
Yes, it's one simple set of plans for everyone. Advertisers are the exception — they run on credits instead of storage (see ad plans).
Can I cancel or change my plan anytime?
Anytime. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel whenever you like — no lock-in.
What happens to my photos if I downgrade?
They stay put — nothing gets deleted. If you're over your new plan's limit, you just can't upload more until you free up space or upgrade again.
