3 months of Flickr Pro for free

[haven]

Flickr is offering a Holiday Gift promotion that gives Flickr participants access to Flickr Pro features for free. Pro provides several benefits:
-- Unlimited photo uploads (50MB per photo)
-- Unlimited viewing of your entire photo library
-- Post any of your photos or videos in up to 60 group pools
-- Download your original, high-resolution photos
-- Upload and play unlimited HD videos

That first benefit is just what you'll need to migrate your photos from Instagram to Flickr!

To automatically receive the Holiday Gift, use one of Flickr's mobile apps (iPhone, Android or Windows). You can also claim the gift through a web browser. Click on the gift banner on your Flickr home page.

The promotion runs until January 4.

A basic Flickr account is free. Pro costs about $2 a month.

Bigger photos have a punch all their own:
