  1. Click on your photo to open it.
  2. Click the Edit icon.
  3. Select Replace.
  4. Choose your replacement image.
  5. Click Replace.

Please note, that when you replace an image, while the photo page URL does not change, the photo URL does.

The photo page URL (note no .jpg at the end):
replace_2.png

To locate the new photo's direct URL:

  1. Click a photo to open it.
  2. Click the Download icon.
  3. Click View all sizes.
  4. Click on the size you want to see.
  5. Right-click the image.

Link back to Flickr - Per our Terms of Use, whenever you place an image you're storing on Flickr on an external web site, you must also include a link back to Flickr.

At this time, videos can't be replaced or rotated. As a workaround, we recommend that you re-upload the desired video and delete the original.
