HowTo: Backing Up All Your Photos From Flickr

Are you like me, who uploads almost every photo you take to your Flickr account? Right now, I’ve uploaded 6,472 photos. What if the hard drive where all your precious pictures are stored stops working? What would you do, start downloading your pictures from Flickr one by one? No way, right?

Open-Source FlickrEdit comes to help us all with this hard duty, allowing you to download all pictures from your Flickr Account with just a few clicks. It has been written in JAVA and makes the process of downloading all your pictures an easy task.

Just after opening the program, it will ask you to enter your login and password, so it can retrieve the necessary information about your account. After that, you will be able to see all your photo sets, like the picture below:

With this program, you can choose to download all pictures from a Set, all pictures, your favorites, and much more…

When you’ve selected “Backup Selected”, it will ask you where you want to save them. You can even save your pictures to CD or DVD (I haven’t tried this option, but if you do, let us know).

While backing up, it will check the size of the download, and then it will start downloading to the folder or media you’ve selected.

After the backup process is done, just go to your selected folder and your pictures will be there! 🙂
