How to Share Flickr Photos to Facebook?
I am a Flickr Pro user for years and uploaded over 700 photos to Flickr. On the other hand, I have made many friends on Facebook.
Now, how do I share my Flickr photos with my Facebook friends without having to upload the photos again?
Flickr2Facebook Uploader
Flickr2Facebook is an unofficial Flickr to Facebook uploader(bookmarklet) which allows you upload photos to Facebook from Flickr.
- Visit Flickr2Facebook site, login Flickr to allow Flickr2Facebook access your Flickr account.
- Save the Flickr2Facebook bookmarklet to your web browser bookmark(do this once).
- Goto your Flickr photo page that you would like to upload to Facebook, and click the Flickr2Facebook bookmarklet in your web browser bookmark.
- Click on the Flickr2Facebook logo that appears over your Flickr photo. You will be asked to choose the Facebook photo album you would like to upload into (thus, you need to create photo album first) and the Flickr photo will be uploaded to selected Facebook photo album. It’s fast!
- Back to the Facebook photo album to approve the newly uploaded photos.

Flickr Photos Facebook application
There is also a Flickr Photos application(app) for Facebook. After adding the Facebook app, it allows you to share your Flickr photos on Facebook.
However, the shared photos are only listed in the app and does not appear in your Facebook album. This is not good, especially with the new Facebook design. The Flickr Photos app is hardly discovered by your friends.
My two cents
Flickr2Facebook is a handy bookmarklet to upload your Flickr photos to Facebook photo album without the need to reupload the photos from your computer. The Flickr-to-Facebook upload is fast because it is a server-to-server transfer. But, you can upload photos in batch, only one-by-one upload…
Are you Flickr user too? Add me as your contact!
I just released a beta version of flickr import apps. Final release very soon http://apps.facebook.com/flickrimport
This is now an automated feature within Facebook, no need for external tools – go to your profile wall tab, click on ‘options’ underneath the share button, which will then change text to ‘settings’ – click on this again.
A box detailing all available sites for imported stories will be displayed, click on flickr and fill in the appropriate details. FB will (or should) automatically scan your flickr photostream for new shots periodically. If it finds any it will post a link to your networks newstream.
Sometimes it doesn’t do this though or there is a delay – to force it just go back to the FB settings page detailed above, click on the flickr button and then ‘update now’.
Thanks for the tip.
Or you can go to your profile -> options -> settings and add your flickr feed there
thanks but I can’t find the setting?
