How to import Photos from iPhoto to Flickr?

Last Updated :

You can share your photos online by publishing them directly from iPhoto to Flickr, a website where you can post photos for free. Before you can publish photos from iPhoto to Flickr, you need a Flickr account.

Sharing your iPhotos to your Flickr page is easy. All you need to do is set up your Flickr account in iPhoto and then follow the process given below. If you do not know how to set up Flickr account in iPhoto, we have explained that process as well.

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!
