a simple and clean way to flickr

Flickrock is a free viewer application that works using the official Flickr sharing API.
We want to provide photographers a suitable frame to showcase their portfolio. We designed Flickrock to enhance the image browsing experience allowing to show and discover photo galleries increasing the visibility of the original Flickr site.

• Simple interface
Flickrock displays all photogalleries with as little distraction as posible, with no visual overload and no advertising. We want every photographer to be protagonist and their work look its best.
• Large images
Flickrock shows photos in big sizes to be appreciated all its details. By clicking an image an even larger photo is loaded in a lightbox.
• Infinite scroll
On Flickrock all photographs are displayed as one continuous stream, so you can view thousands of images without needing to load another page.
• Black background
We want photographs to be appreciated. A dark background brings out the contrast and gives colors a brighter and intense appearance so every image looks really stunning.
• Metadata
Flickrock provides —if available— additional info about the photographs as copyright information, description, date, camera settings (brand, focal lenght, aperture, ISO and shutter speed), and the map location where the photo was taken.
• Sorting options
All phototreams are sorted by popularity so that the best images are displayed first. This default algorithm is provided by Flickr to help you explore the most interesting photos. Learn more about this feature here.


If you like to display the most recent photos first, Flickrock allows you to sort your photostream by date uploaded or date taken.

• Keyboard navigation
To move forward through the stream: use spacebar or → or J key.
To move backwards through the stream: use ← or K key.
• Own domain name
Flickrock allows to use a custom domain name at no cost. Please contact us to request this feature. It's totally free!

Just add your Flickr user id or alias name after Flickrock.com/ in your browser's address bar… and voilà!

All photographs shown on Flickrock might be copyrighted by their respective owners. Flickrock does not host photos, store any user identifiable data, or infringe international copyright laws.

Our application uses an inline linking technology to show the images stored on Flickr's servers and reflects whatever Flickr provides through its sharing API.
Flickrock is fully compliant with the guidelines and terms of use of Flickr API: photos are linked back to its original Flickr page, so there can be no misunderstanding about the image origin, author or copyright.
More about privacy on Flickr here.

Because the photos are not hosted on Flickrock and are instead surfaced to the end user directly from Flickr using their sharing API, please contact Flickr directly for any concerns that you might have about how Flickr makes your photos available through their API.

Flickrock respects your privacy and only allows other people to see your public Flickr photos.
If you authorize Flickrock to access your Flickr, you'll be able to see your own private photos but for everyone else these photos are not visible on Flickrock as they are not public on Flickr.

Flickrock only displays public photos exactly as they are set on Flickr's privacy options.
If you want to opt out from third party services as Flickrock having access to your photos using Flickr API, you can set it on your Flickr preferences. You can opt out on this page by selecting both:

You can opt out on this page by selecting both:

1. Hide your photostream from searches on 3rd party sites that use the API
2. Your profile - hide me from searches

Once you opt out on Flickr your photos will no longer be displayed through Flickrock application. Please wait up to 24 hours for this change to take place.

Note: Flickrock uses the Flickr API but is not endorsed or certified by Flickr or Yahoo.
