How to Backup Your Flickr Photos?

Out of all the other photo sharing websites, Flickr is the most popular one. This website allows you to upload images for free… of course to a certain limit. However, if you are willing to upload photos beyond that limit, you can pay a nominal fee and do that. It also facilitates you to keep your photos private or share with just a few friends or keep them public.

Flickr also allows you to join in various Flickr communities where you can interact with fellow group members and gather knowledge. These communities and forums also allows you to ask questions and clear doubts if any.

Another thing that makes Flickr one of the most popular photo sharing website is the facility to backup your photos. If you own a Flickr Pro account you can upload, store and access very large resolution files. This costs you around $25 per year.

Uploading photos on Flickr manually is a time-consuming task. It is better to use a photo uploading or photo backup tool to do it automatically. All you need to do is, create a Flickr photo folder on your system and upload all the images there. The software will automatically detect new entries in the folder it will upload them to your Flickr account. This process is fast and dead easy.

You can also use applications to backup your Flickr photos. These applications ask for your permission and if you wish to try this out, grant the required access. Later if you feel that you don’t want to use the application, you can revoke the access anytime. The most popular Flickr photo backup applications are Flickr Backup, Flump and FlickrTouchr

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.

Great tool for enduring your photos are always safely backed up. I backed up tens of thousands of photos and dozens of videos to Flickr in my 1st couple of months using PicBackMan. Would unreservedly recommend as it works seamlessly and copies your photos to Flickr in sets which reflect your folders.

This is a fantastic piece of software! I wanted to backup 100+ gigs worth of original sized photos to Flickr and after trying many many tools, PickBacMan was the one that finally worked. It worked flawlessly for 10 straight days uploading all my photos without a single error/ timeout/ crash. Absolutely amazing! I didn't try the other premium features but the ability to replicate stuff across multiple...
