Solved

Can I upload a headshot of my long dead great grandfather to his page without going Pro?

My great grandfather Fred Reese (he worked on King Kong) has a page we made 20+ years ago and it has no photo but now I have an old headshot of him from the 40s. Can I add it without paying for pro? I just want to add a one time photo.

Hi @artemisgreeneye -

Unfortunately, we do not currently offer the option to post a single/multiple photo for any unclaimed name page on our site.  An IMDbPro membership is required to display photos and/or detailed professional information on filmography pages at this time.

In the future, if we create a memorial service to display photos for friends and loved ones who have passed away, we'll announce it prominently on the site.

@Michelle​ Is this on any roadmap? The longer IMDb waits with this, the more photos via relatives the site will miss, possible forever in some cases.....

Hi @Marco​ -

Unfortunately, while this is not currently on our roadmap, we are aware of the image contribution limitation and we will continue to monitor the Idea thread for votes/comments.

@Michelle​ Thanks for the response, although I think it's not logical that's it's not on a roadmap, but of course I know you're just the messenger.

Hi @ACT_1​ -

Yes.  If a claimed page owner has uploaded images to their page and they decide to discontinue their IMDbPro membership, once that membership expires their managed data (including images) will be suppressed.

Hi @Marco​ -

I understand the frustration, and I also know that this has been a long-time feature support request.  Although this is not on our current roadmap, I have raised it again for visibility with the product team and our staff will continue monitoring requests on the existing Idea thread.

@Michelle​ 😁

Just a little bit confusing 🤪
IMDb does not pay contributors to add contributions. 
But some contributors have to pay IMDb to add contributions.

and IMDb get money from all the advertisements
