It’s the last day for Pixel 3 ‘Original’ quality photo uploads. Make it count.

• The perk allowing for free Google Photos uploads for Pixel 3 devices ends today.
• Starting February 1, 2022, Pixel 3 phones will have free storage, but at a reduced quality.
• The Google Pixel 3a never got this perk, so it is not affected.

When the original Google Pixel launched, it came with a unique perk: free Google Photos backups of photos and videos at their original quality. This applied for the entire life of the phone. It was a great perk that was one of the device’s big selling points.

The perk didn’t last. With the Google Pixel 2, Google changed the program to allow for unlimited “Original Quality” Google Photos uploads for about three years. After that, the phone would get unlimited free storage of photos and videos but at a reduced quality. This same policy applied to the Pixel 3 series, and guess what? Today’s the last day for that perk (h/t 9to5Google).
