Can I freeze pickles?

You can freeze them however they will probably fall apart when you thaw them out. Food with a lot of water tends to get destroyed by the whole freezing process.

Yes you can freeze pickles but it will become ice and you will have difficulty when you want to have it. Instead keep it in the normal freeze and since there is preservative it will stay for a year without getting fungus.

It is not recommended to freeze pickles. Cucumbers are high in water content and when they freeze will turn to mush.

Make sure you are using a freezer recipe, not just a regular pickle recipe. To maintain some of the texture of the pickles, it is necessary to incorporate sugar into the recipe. When freezing try to use quantities which will be eaten in one or two sittings. They should be consumed as soon as they have softened up enough.

I really don't recommend it. Pickles are well preserved in the first place and last quite a long time even after being opened if they're refrigerated.
