How to Import Flickr Photos into Facebook

by Ivan on April 23, 2010

facebook-ivan-walshYou can now use Facebook’s import feature to add your Flickr photos into Facebook. To do this from Flickr, follow the instructions below. To do it directly from Facebook, use the Import link at the top of your Mini-Feed. Right now, only a few sites—Flickr, Yelp, Picasa, and del.icio.us—are available for importing. Digg and other sites are scheduled. These posts will look just like any other Mini-Feed stories, and will hopefully increase your ability to share information with your friends. I prefer the Flickr to Facebook method as I’ve had issues with different Facebook apps. But, its up to you!

How to Import Flickr Photos into Facebook

Tip: You have to put in your full email account name that you use at Flickr.

Here’s how it works.

1. Login to Flickr and click http://flickr.com/account?tab=extend

2. Scroll down the page until you find this “Your Facebook account. Link your accounts to share your Flickr updates on Facebook. ”

3. Click Link the Accounts. This starts the import process.

4. In Facebook, click the Import button to import into Facebook

5 You then get confirmation that your Flickr and Facebook accounts are connected.

    Hi there, I managed a Facbook page, which is runs as a 'promoting agent' for my main commercial website. I was wondering you know how to feed my Flickr update to my Facebook page. Not my personal Facebook page.

    Thanks
    Ichwan

    In Facebook, if you:
    1. Go to the application
    2. Add to the profile box first
    3. Go to your profile page, and click on the Boxes tab
    4. Scroll down to where you can see your My Flickr
    5. On that box(while in your boxes tab), that one should have the pencil drop down menu, click on it, and select Move to wall tab
    See: http://blog.myflickrapp.com/post/123741350/addb…
    Does this work?

    In Facebook, go to the application profile page and hit the add to page option. Then it walks you thru the rest of it. Once it has loaded to your Box, then go into it and edit it (hit the small pencil) to show on the Wall section.

    does that work?
