Flickr and Postpone

# Schedule Social Posts from Flickr Photos with Postpone

Postpone connects to your Flickr so a photo from your portfolio goes straight into a post, without downloading it and uploading it again. It is built for photographers and visual brands with years of work on Flickr and a feed that deserves to draw on all of it.

[**Get Started for Free**](https://www.postpone.app/signup)

## **Create Social Posts from Flickr**

### Post From the Portfolio, Not From a Folder of Re-Exports

A photo from your Flickr portfolio can be in a scheduled post with nothing downloaded, renamed or re-exported on the way, and the original untouched. Pick one or several, and each becomes its own post with its own caption, in the form each platform takes it.

## **Flickr Photos in Content Library**

### Draw on the Archive Without Reposting What Has Already Run

Only the photos you pick from Flickr land in Postpone's [**Content Library**](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library), so the library is the working edit, not the back catalogue. Label them by series, location or client, then filter to what has never been posted, so a photo from years back gets its first run on a feed that did not exist when it was taken.

## **Watermark and Edit Flickr Photos**

### Credit Every Photo Before It Leaves the Library

Save your name, handle or website as a watermark preset once and every photo you import from Flickr carries the credit as it arrives, while the portfolio itself is never marked up. Crop, rotate or filter in Postpone's own editor, and photos already in the library can be watermarked in bulk.

## Everything Postpone Does With a Flickr Photo

Six things a photo can do once it is in Postpone, none of which need a download.

- ### Import Without Downloading

  Browse your Flickr from inside the upload dialog and pull a photo straight into a post or the Content Library. It never passes through your downloads folder, and Flickr itself is untouched.
- ### A Series in One Go

  Pick every photo in a series at once and they upload together, ready to become an Instagram carousel, a run of Pins or a month of single posts, labelled as one set in the library.
- ### The Archive, Without the Repeats

  The library records where each photo has been posted and filters to what never has, so an archive of thousands can feed a schedule for years without the same frame running twice on the same account.
- ### A Credit on Every Import

  Your default preset, a logo or up to 500 characters of text in one of six fonts, lands on each imported photo at the size, opacity and corner you set. Applied as the photo arrives, if you choose.
- ### Scheduled or Queued, Not Posted by Hand

  A photo attached to a post goes out at the time you pick, or at the next slot in a custom schedule, on every platform you chose. Auto-repost can run it again later.
- ### See Which Photos Land

  Every post shows up in analytics like any other, so you can compare the landscapes with the portraits by likes, saves and impressions and see what the feed actually wants more of.

## Connect Flickr to Postpone in Three Steps

Connect Flickr once and your photos are ready to schedule.

1. 1 ### Connect your accounts

   Add the social accounts you publish to, then sign in to Flickr the first time you import. There is nothing else to set up.
2. 2 ### Import a photo into a post

   Bring any photo out of your Flickr account and into Postpone without downloading it first. Postpone reads your photos and changes nothing on Flickr.
3. 3 ### Schedule it and keep it

   Attach the photo to a post, choose the platforms and set the time. It stays in your Content Library, watermarked if you set a default.

Questions About Postpone and Flickr

How Postpone reads your photos, what happens to them once imported, and where they can go.

Still have questions? Check out our help center for answers to most of your questions, or reach out to our support team.

[**Visit the Help Center **](https://help.postpone.app/) [**Contact us **](https://www.postpone.app/contact)

### **How does the Flickr integration work?**

Postpone browses your Flickr photos from inside the app and imports the ones you pick into your Content Library or straight into a post. Open the upload dialog, choose the Flickr tab and sign in.

The same dialog carries tabs for Google Drive, Google Photos, Dropbox, OneDrive and Box, and Canva has an import button of its own.

[**The Content Library **](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library)

### **Can I schedule a Flickr photo to several platforms at once?**

Yes, a photo imported into Postpone behaves like any other library item, so one post can go to Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, Bluesky and the rest from a single compose screen, with each account keeping its own caption. Pinterest in particular takes a title, a description and a destination link on the same image.

[**The Pinterest scheduler **](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/pinterest-scheduler)

### **Does Postpone watermark Flickr imports?**

Yes, Postpone applies your default watermark preset to a Flickr import as it arrives, exactly as it does to a direct upload, which is worth setting up before importing a back catalogue rather than after. Photos already in the library can be watermarked in bulk from the actions menu.

[**The Content Library **](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library)

### **Does importing change anything on Flickr?**

No, Postpone only reads your photos in order to import them. Nothing on Flickr is edited, moved or deleted, and a crop, filter or watermark applied in Postpone changes the copy in Postpone, not the photo in your portfolio.

[**The Content Library **](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library)

### **Does Postpone import new Flickr uploads automatically?**

No, Postpone imports the photos you pick and nothing else. There is no sync and no automatic import, so the library holds your working edit rather than the whole archive. Select several photos in one visit to the dialog to bring a series across at once.

[**The Content Library **](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library)

### **Can Postpone tell me if a Flickr photo has already been posted?**

Yes, the Postpone Content Library tracks which media you have already used and lets you filter down to what you have never posted. For an archive that runs to thousands of frames, that is how a photo gets its first run on a feed without the same one going up twice.
