Improve public searches of your photos

If your photos aren’t appearing in search results, don’t worry — here’s how to make sure they’re discoverable.

  • Upload five or more public photos to your account.
  • Turn off your default "hide from search" setting for new photos.
  • Use Organizr to ensure existing photos are searchable.

Show Photos in Public Searches 

  1. Hover over You | Select Organize.
  2. Drag and drop photos into the batch area.
  3. Select Permissions | Hide/show in public searches.
  4. Uncheck Hide these items from public searches.
  5. Select Change.

Additional Tips

  • Add accurate Tags, Titles, and Descriptions to make your photos easier to find.
  • If you’re new to Flickr, be sure to categorize your content as Safe, Moderate, or Restricted so it’s filtered correctly and can appear in the right searches.
