No more free photo uploads on Google starting June 1, 2021; check details here

Google Photos, home for more than 4 trillion photos and videos worldwide is undergoing a policy upgrade. The company has announced that starting June 1, 2021, Google Photos users will not have the luxury of free uploads.

The “High quality” photos uploaded after that date, will count towards the Google storage quota like Gmail or Drive already does.

The current policy offers users the option of backing up unlimited number of “high quality” photos and videos — which are compressed to 16MP and High Definition.
