Create or delete temporary Guest Passes in Flickr (web only)

Guest Passes let you share non-public photos or albums. Anyone with the special link can view the content, even if they don’t have a Flickr account.  You’re always in control — you can expire a Guest Pass at any time.

Things to know before you start: 

  • Content must have a Safe or Moderate Safety Level.
  • Viewers without a Flickr account can only see content marked Safe. To view Moderate content, they’ll need to log in and adjust their SafeSearch settings.
  • Anyone with the Guest Pass link will be able to view the non-public content.
  • This feature is not currently available on the Flickr app.

Create a guest pass

  1. Log into your account on a web browser.
  2. Select a photo, album, or multiple photos in the Camera Roll.
  3. Select the Share icon.
  4. Copy the link that’s generated and share it anywhere (email, FlickrMail, social media, etc.).

View & manage guest passes

  1. Log into your account on a web browser.
  2. Select your Profile Photo | Select Settings.
  3. Select Sharing & Extending.
  4. Select View and manage all the guest passes you've sent out.

You can revoke access at any time by selecting Expire next to a pass.
