Panoramio was a popular service that allowed users to share their photographs with the world, but it has now been discontinued. The team behind Panoramio appreciates the contributions made by users over the years and encourages everyone to continue sharing their amazing photos through alternative platforms.
If you had linked your Panoramio profile with your Google account, your photographs have been transferred to the Google Album Archive in full resolution. However, note that all other data associated with Panoramio has been permanently deleted and cannot be retrieved.
For users who had their photos appearing in Google Maps under their Google Account name, these photos will still be visible along with their original view counts. However, photos linked solely to a Panoramio username have been removed from Google’s platforms.
For those looking to keep sharing photos on Google Earth and Google Maps, there is a new opportunity through the Local Guides program. This program allows users to contribute photographs while earning points and unlocking rewards for submissions made with a linked Google account at various points of interest or businesses.
In summary, while Panoramio is no longer available, users have options to manage their photos and continue engaging in a community of photographers through Google’s platforms.
