Viewbook enables you to export the images that you uploaded in Viewbook to Flickr and Facebook. You can export complete albums and image selections which will appear in your existing or a new Flickr collection or Facebook album.

1. Select an album, or a selection of images. You can select images with your mouse by holding the left mouse button and dragging over the images, or by holding the Shift key and clicking on multiple images.
 
2. Click ‘Share’ in the main options bar and then click the Facebook or Flickr icon under ‘Export images’. A pop up will open and ask you to authorize to connect your Viewbook account with your Facebook or Flickr account. Click ‘authorize’ and off you go.
 
3. It can take some time before the images are copied and processed. When done, refresh your Flickr or Facebook page and your images appear.
 
4. Go to your 'photos' section in Facebook and you will be asked to authorize the images. After authorizing the images will be live and appear in your stream. Flickr shows your images right away

Will it be possible when sharing a link to an album to have the back button on the album or a link to the website? Currently when you view the album there is no link to the actual website.

Hi,

Question about export photos directly to Facebook : If you have on your viewbook album HR images, what will be the size exported on Facebook ?

Regards,

Sébastien

Hi Sebastian, we send not larger than 1024x1024 pixels to Facebook at the moment.

Hi Rien,

Perfect, that's enough (for me).

Thank you for your quick answer.
