How to Sync and Share Flickr Photos in Your Facebook Account

If you are an active Facebook user but also have some presence at Flickr, there are situations when you may want to sync Flickr photos directly on Facebook. At this moment, Flickr does not allow you to automatically upload Flickr photos to your Facebook account, but users can use a free application called Flickrtab, which adds a new tab in your Facebook profile, thus showing your public Flickr photostream.

After you have connected your Facebook and Flickr accounts, you can see a new tab added in your Facebook profile as shown below:

You can add this tab to your Facebook fan page and enable auto publishing of Flickr photos in your Facebook profile. The application pulls only the public photos from your Flickr photo stream so there is nothing to worry if you have any private  photos stored. All the Flickr photo sets and collections can be viewed from Facebook and the good news is that your Facebook friends can comment on the Flickr photos.

There is more – if you upload new photos in your Flickr account, the updates are shown automatically in Facebook and your friends news feeds. Thus you can batch upload photos in Flickr or use email and the updates are posted in Facebook.

Tip: Use Fotobounce to download and view entire Flickr and Facebook albums.
