How To Upload Images To Photobucket Using Firefox

via MakeUseOf.com by Joel Reyes on 3/9/09

Within this article I'm going to show you how you can upload images to your Photobucket account without having to visit the main site.  This allows you to save time and quickly host images without having to navigate away from important pages you might be working on, especially if you're a busy blogger.

Photobucket Uploader is an extension that lets you store your images on Photobucket as soon as you've downloaded and installed this add-on (if you don't have a Photobucket account yet you can snatch one up here).

With the following steps I'm going to show you how to select an image and instantly upload it to your PB account. You'll be able to access your images from within your browser while being able to organize them to your preferences as well.

How do I use PB Uploader?

Step 1

Once your add-on has been installed you can access your Photobucket account by going to the Tools section of your browser window. Then scroll down and click on the camera icon that says "Uploader Login" next to it.

Step 2

Next a small login screen will pop-up requiring you to login to your PB account.

Step 3

As soon as you have logged in, a small grey bar will slide down on the top right of your browser letting you know that everything is a-go with your PB account.

Step 4

Right-click on any image and select the "Upload to Photobucket" option to instantly save the image(s) to your PB album.

Step 5

Once you've selected the image you should immediately see another grey bar slide down confirming that your image has been successfully uploaded.

Step 6

Now you can view your image in your PB album or organize it!

If you choose to view the image in your album, this is what it will look like:

Who Benefit's from Using Photobucket Uploader?

The great thing about this app is that there is absolutely no limitation to who can and for what you can use PB Uploader for. Common users range from everyday bloggers to graphic designers and anyone else who wants to use this app.

Not everyone is aware of how easy it is to upload pictures to their PB account, but this add-on takes that easiness and further simplifies the uploading of any image you can right-click on. This not only can save you time, but it can increase your productivity as well.

Compatability:

Photobucket Uploader is compatible with Win2000/XP/Vista and all versions of Firefox from 1.5-3.0.
