After June 1st, any new photos or videos uploaded to Google Photos will count toward the same free 15 GB of storage that all Google Accounts divide across Photos, Gmail, and Drive.
If you already have way more than 15 GB of “high quality” photos (i.e. compressed photos weighing in at 16 MB or less) stored on Google Photos, don’t worry: that data won’t be counted toward your free storage after this upcoming change.
The Verge notes that Pixel smartphone owners who have enjoyed unlimited original quality photo storage with Google will also be impacted — photos uploaded from those phones after June 1st will only be stored for free in the lower “high quality” and not full res.
