Data usage

As with many other digital services, viewing high-resolution images needs some of your device’s internet data allowance to operate. Each time you view an image it may use up to 5 MB (or more) of your data allowance. If you are unsure of this impact on your data plan (particularly mobile), please contact your internet/mobile service provider.
