▶ How to free up space in Google Photos
Table of contents:
Until now, Google Photos offered unlimited space to save your images in the cloud if you stored them in standard quality. But as of June 1, 2021, the images you upload will become part of the 15GB of free storage you have with your Google account. Therefore, it may be time to learn how to free up space in Google Photos to remove those images that are no longer interesting to you. Luckily, there are some tricks you can use to avoid using up all your storage too quickly.
The first one is quite obvious. From time to time, we recommend that you take a look through your Google Photos account and delete all those images that you no longer want. This will help you avoid having trouble saving the ones you do need.
Another interesting option may be to reduce the quality with which you store your images. To do this, go to Settings>Backup and sync>Image quality. Always choose Original Quality, because if you opt for the High quality option, the amount of space occupied will be much greater and you will have more problems when freeing up space.
