Tools

We are a foundation that builds software. Here is where you’ll find the things we build to be used by other people, to do with moving Flickr photographs around.

If you’re interested, we make some of our code public, and share it on GitHub. Pull requests welcome!

Data Lifeboat, October 2025

Data Lifeboat allows any Flickr member to make an archive of Flickr photos and their metadata. With in-built consent, you can also archive other people’s photos, and with the README feature, describe why you made this particular archive and things to watch out for, for future viewers.

Flickr Commons Explorer, March 2024

The Commons Explorer is a website for exploring the photos in the Flickr Commons program. It allows you to look across the photographs in the Commons, in an interface that’s richer than search results.

Flickypedia, December 2023

Flickypedia is a tool for copying freely-licensed photos from Flickr to Wikimedia Commons. Find out more in our introductory blog post or check out the code on GitHub.

Update, 6 Feb 2026: We’ve moved the service to this address: https://flickypedia.flickr.org/ – please update your bookmarks!
