Upload Photos and Videos to Facebook from your Desktop

Facebook has become a part of our lives now and we are so addicted to it that if we don’t upload two-three photos a day or share a video with our friends, our day is kind of incomplete.

Upload Photos / Videos to Facebook from Desktop

Uploading these two-three photos a day is an easy task with the facebook java-based uploader which is a nice tool but this nice tool is not so nice when you have a bit too many pictures to be uploaded. It can make your browser crash in the middle of upload process and cause many other problems aswell.

A nice and easy solution for all these problems is Bloom, a software that lets you upload photos and even videos on facebook right from your desktop. You can upload photos to a new or existing album and can also tag them. Option of adding a description and location to new ablums is also there and the maximum no. of photos that can be uploaded in an album is 200.

Facebook Photo / Video Uploading Software

The uploading process is quite easy. You just have to drag and drop the photos that you want to upload to facebook in Bloom, write description if you want and hit the upload button. Thats it, Bloom will do the rest for you.

Some other great features of Bloom are as follow:

  • Download albums from Facebook
  • View your friends photos
  • Save individual photos
  • Support for uploads behind a Proxy server

It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. For downloading it, log on to Bloom’s official website.
