As I have experience myself, uploading photographs to Facebook is not always an easy task if the user is uploading the pictures from any browser except Internet Explorer. The pictures take more than the required time to load and then the session times out, giving the succinct error “Upload Failed.”
But now, an application is out there that eliminates all photograph uploading problems on Facebook; this application is Adobe Photo Uploader for Facebook.
Since the photo uploading tool on Facebook is based on Adobe Air, Adobe has got this freeware utility out which lets you upload Facebook photographs without dealing with any internet browsers whatsoever.
Users can obtain the download by clicking on the big orange rectangular button labeled ‘Download from Publisher.’ The download file is significantly small in size hence the downloading and installation process is over before you know it.
Once the program runs, it asks you for your Facebook username and password so that it can access your account and publish photographs in your photo albums. This information is needed only for the first run since in subsequent runs, you are automatically signed in.
Here is how the program looks like when it starts up and signs in:
It starts with the ‘Home’ tab and has major updates, news, wall posts listed on the right. You can change the tabs, just like in Facebook and you pretty much get the same experience.
To upload your photographs, click on the Upload tab to be taken to a page which first asks you which photo album of yours do you want your photograph to be published in. If there is a need, you can also create a new album, right there from within the application. Once you pick an album, you face a page similar to this one:
To add photographs, click on the ‘Add Photos’ button; the photographs are shown in the left of the window like so:
Once you select the photographs to be uploaded, and a list is made, click on the green arrow with the label ‘Upload Images’ underneath.
And there you go. The photographs get uploaded to your albums without any hassles.
Adobe’s Photo Uploader also automatically publishes the uploaded photos to your wall and saves you even more time.
This freeware is one application, every Facebook user should have.
