Fotobounce Downloads Full Facebook And Flickr Albums In One Click

By Adam Pash on September 5, 2009 at 4:00 AM

Windows/Mac OS X: Ever wanted to download a friend’s full album from Flickr or Facebook but quickly discovered that downloading one photo at a time is an enormous pain? Free application Fotobounce aims to alleviate that pain.

(Click the image for a closer look.)

This simple application actually does a lot more than just download albums from the two popular image sharing sites; it’s actually a desktop photo organiser in its own right, supporting cool features like face recognition and mobile access to your library.

Still, if you’re not looking for a new way to organise photos on your desktop, Fotobounce’s Facebook and Flickr album slurping abilities are perk enough to make it a decent download.

Fotobounce is freeware, works on Windows and Mac OS X.

“download a friend’s full album from Flickr or Facebook”

It doesn’t let you download other people’s flickr albums. Only your own.

Maybe it does to much, being an organizer, but these type tools are quite useful. I use FacePAD to grab Facebook albums, run them through Ant Renamer, and then organize in Windows Live Gallery. I don't have any connections on Flickr.

Anyone suggest a similar tool for Myspace?

@iwuzbord: Huh, that's strange. Guess it's a good thing that's where I chose.

Thanks for the heads up!

@iwuzbord: How ironic, Mac version works for PC world only.

Can you pull photos of you that are tagged through this. Or is it only the individual Albums?

wow fantastic!
I've been meaning to back up all my facebook pictures for ages, but didn't want to go through picture-by-picture.
This is perfect :D

@DuncanPapus: Probably a similar reason that people assume that a tool that could be used for nefarious purposes, despite having legitimate purpsoe, will be.

It sounds like you have a profession which makes this a sensitive issue, but if we're talking real friends and not "friends", I suggest you playing it too lose with the word "stealing".

Theres a nice bash script to do this. Maybe it'll work on a mac? (I dont know, I dont use macs.)
