Flickr is one of the top rated photo sharing sites and if you have an account (especially PRO) with Flickr, then you should be trying out Flickr Schedulr. Flickr Schedulr is a Windows application that automatically uploads pictures to Flickr based on a schedule (For eg. one new picture every day at a certain time). It allows you to create a queue of pictures to be uploaded, along with their titles, descriptions, tags, and the photoset or groups into which they should be added to.
First time you run the application, you need to log in and authenticate this tool to use Flickr services. Once you are done with this task, you can add all your images to Queued pictures tab. You can add pictures using the add button in the application. If the photo has a tag and description, then they are automatically added to this tool.
To schedule photos upload to Flickr, use Windows Tasks Scheduler (you can see our article on how to schedule tasks in Task Scheduler) or refer the instructions on the Scheduling help page of this tool) to run Flickr Schedulr at your desired schedule with the “/upload” command line argument. Every time the task is run, the next batch of pictures in the queue will be uploaded and moved to the “Uploaded Pictures” list.
