Flickr, being one of the most popular (for good reason) photo websites, seems to have no end on ways to upload pictures. There are two ways to upload from the web site its self (Web Uploadr and basic web Uploadr), via email, Flickr’s own desktop uploader application (available for Mac, Windows, and Linux), and from myriad of applications and plugins powered by Flickr’s API. As an active member of the Flickr community, it feels like I have searched my whole Flickr-using life (just over a year now) for the perfect way for me to upload my pictures. After exhausting nearly every method and generally being happy with the features that any one way my provide, but being very annoyed with the features that it didn’t have, I eventually gave up and just resorted to the web interface. It worked for a while, but then after doing some searching around, I found an application called jUploadr. It seems to be the perfect system for me, and I was shocked that it took me this long to find it!

jUploadr is a desktop app. for OS X that allows you to simply drag your photos into the huge drop zone and then one by one, or in groups, add titles, tags, descriptions, and the privacy of the photos. The interface is smooth, snappy, and pleasant. It’s almost like an even more simplified version of Flickr’s Uploadr, without all the bugs and a lot more control over which photos get uploaded and when. One thing that i really like about JUploadr is that it does just what i want, and that it. Its menu’s aren’t cluttered with options and features that i don’t need- its straight to the point and focused on getting what you want done quickly and efficiently.

Overall, if you’re looking for a powerful, simple, and generally efficient way to upload your content to Flickr from your Mac, jUploadr hits the nail on the head.
