#Flickr uploadr review for mac#

Looking at the official tools, you have the Flickr Uploadr and MacDaddy for Mac users (impossible to get a link to Windows version if I’m on a Mac… 🙁 ). There are a vast number of uploading tools for both Flickr and SmugMug, stand-alone apps as well as integrated plugins. Personally, I think both services are ok for sharing video clips, but neither is probably your first choice if video sharing is the only thing you’re interested in. The two of them do have time restrictions for videos, where the limit is 90 seconds for Flickr, and SmugMug offers no video for the Standard account, DVD-quality (usually 640×480) for Power accounts with a time limit of 2.5 minutes, and HD-video quality (not full HD, mind you, but normally 1280×720) for Pro accounts, with a time restriction of 5 minutes (or 10 for DVD-quality). Besides from that, SmugMug offers three types of accounts: SmugMug doesn’t have any free accounts, but instead offer a 14 day free trial, which doesn’t demand any credit card or other sensitive information. Flickr offers free accounts where there’s a monthly upload limit of 100 MB per month, and one type of billed account, which costs US$24.95 per year. Pricingīoth services have understood that the only reasonable way to go is to offer a flat rate for unlimited storage and bandwidth, and this goes for both images and videos. The idea is to take a number of areas and compare them to each other, so you can be judge of which service you think suits your needs best. Therefore, I thought it would be interesting to write down a comparison of those two services.

SmugMug – a comparison of the picture services Published on Tuesday, September 23, 2008Īs every other web developer on Earth, I initially clung on to Flickr for my photos, but recently I did a little evaluation round, and instead fell for SmugMug.
