![]() ![]() Yahoo kicked off the Flickr redo with a new Contacts page in late February and followed that up with an updated photo editor at the beginning of April. Uploadr is part three of an ongoing, year-long makeover initiative for Flickr. The new uploader may also encourage more users to get organized (and descriptive) when posting and sharing photos on Flickr. Uploadr replaces Flickr’s rather rudimentary browser-based photo upload tool, a pain to use when uploading large quantities of photos. Members on the free plan can now load photos up to 30MB in size, while those who pay for Pro accounts can load files up to 50MB in size. Members can grab a smattering of photos, drag them to the browser, arrange them into sets, add tags and descriptions, set licensing terms, tag friends in photos, and adjust advance settings all before clicking to publish photos to Flickr at enhanced speeds.įlickr has also increased file size restrictions to support even higher resolution images. The new tool, written in HTML5, is specifically tailored around the bulk photo-uploader. “This is a significant step in the evolution of Flickr, and you’ll continue to see changes to the site aimed at creating more beautiful, relevant experiences for our community.” “We’re excited to introduce a faster, easier uploading experience that underscores the importance of the story behind each photo,” Flickr head of product Markus Spiering told VentureBeat. To get a better smooth uploading experience, you should limit the upload bandwidth to certain speed to make some room for other internet activities.Flickr is in the processing of rolling out a revamped photo upload tool, appropriately named “Flickr Uploadr,” that sports drag-and-drop support, includes photo thumbnail previews, allows for easier arranging and tagging, and is said to be 20 to 30 percent faster at uploading photos. Uploading data to the cloud sometimes could take all your upload bandwidth which could make you use Internet like a nightmare. ![]() ![]() You can always go check Upload status, or even pause upload process for certain time You can minimize Uploadr to the system tray to get it out-of-the-way. See screenshot below, I have 9299 photos selected to upload but only 7543 are actually needed.ĭepending on your Internet service and the amount of photos you need to upload, it could take hours or even days to get everything up to the cloud. And you are the only one deciding which photos to share and which are kept secret.Īlso don’t worry about making duplications, as the new Flickr Uploadr introduced an industry standard de-duplication technology that effectively identifies which photos are already uploaded and which ones are new. Any thing uploaded through Flickr Uploadr are kept private, meaning that no one but yourself can get access to to these photos on Flickr. Once done folder selections, click Upload to start uploading process.ĭon’t worry about being exposed with uploading your photos to Flickr. Since I have all my photos saved in one single folder, all I needed is just to include that folder and all photos inside this folder will all get uploaded automatically. By default, it lists some common folders that contain any pictures, such as Desktop, Pictures folder. You can add any other picture photos, including Camera Roll folder in Dropbox, OneDrive, or any other cloud storage folder. Sign in your account or register a new account if you don’t have one yet, you are ready to go. If you haven’t thought about using Flickr as your backup storage for your photos and videos, now it’s time. The Windows version of Flickr Uploadr recently got a revamped version that looks much slicker, cleaner than old versions. You can upload right through its website, from a mobile device that runs either iOS or Android, or right from desktop computers that run either Mac or Windows. With Flickr, it supports multiple ways to upload photos. Still remember Flickr’s announcement its 1TB free storage for both photos and videos?
