How to Synchronize Your Flickr Photos with Facebook


Flickr is a great place to store and share photos for most of the internet users. The main reason was that the images look great with little compression, and it even allows you to link a Creative Commons license to your photos, which can help you gain exposure as a photographer, if that is your goal. But, most of our friends are on Facebook, so it just makes sense for our photos to be there too.

PhotoSync is an excellent web app that lets you transfer all of your Flickr photos to Facebook, and also keeps them in sync. It does this task within an hour of when you upload photos to Flickr. Everything happens in the background and photos from Flickr albums are added to matching Facebook albums effortlessly.
