Import Photos from Almost Anywhere to ZangZing

By Kathryn 147 days ago

Are your photos saved across multiple services and computers? And, is the concept of downloading and re-uploading photos one-by-one overwhelming? At ZangZing, we just released Import All. Now, with essentially the click of a button, you can import all your photos from just about anywhere on the web to ZangZing. And you can finally have all your dearest photos saved and shared in one place.

Import Photos to ZangZing

We know it sounds too good to be true that you could import photos from Facebook, Flickr, MobileMe, Dropbox, Instagram, Kodak Gallery, Photobucket, Picasa, Shutterfly, and SmugMug with the click of a button. So, we recommend that you try it out for yourself. It’s super simple.

1. Sign in to ZangZing at www.zangzing.com/signin or Join for free at www.zangzing.com/join

2. Click the Import button in the bottom toolbar

3. Select from where to import all your photos (you may be prompted to connect your account)

4. Set the privacy for all the albums and then click Import All

Once you click Import All, we display placeholder images for your albums and photos. It will then take several minutes to import all the full resolution photos to ZangZing. The good news is that you don’t have to wait and we’ll send an email once each album is completed.

A Few Common Questions about Importing Photos

Does ZangZing import photos at high resolution?

We import photos at the highest resolution that is provided to us through each of the other services. Most of the services give us full resolution photos. Unfortunately, Shutterfly only provides us with lower screen resolution photos and Facebook does not allow for full resolution photo uploads.  Also, to get your originals from Flickr you need to have a pro account. We call that picnapping…

What is the cost of ZangZing?

ZangZing is free! We’ll roll out a premium service soon and still offer some free storage. We’ll provide details about our premium service before charging anything for existing accounts. We want to make sure you have time to make a decision before paying for ZangZing. (Update: We’ve now released our pricing information).

    Photos by Album imported easily from Mobile Me Gallery to ZangZing but when received at the new gallery the photos were not in the same order as the original Mobile Me files.
    disappointing to see my hours of hard work arranging  in group events was imported by date 
    photo was taken.

    I love this option of being able to import from other sources, especially MobileMe. But I do have concern about sharing my password for my MobileMe account. How is this password used, stored and/or retained if it is. I would prefer that it is immediately deleted, but I would like to hear it from you and perhaps have that reflected in your privacy policy.

      Glad you like it. In your account settings you can unlink any of the accounts you link to ZangZing. Of couse, if you are doing an Import you should wait to make sure all the photos finish importing. To do this simply signin to zangzing, and then cilck on Account in the top right toolbar and then choose settings. Scroll down and you will see all your linked accounts, e.g. Facebook, MobileMe, etc.

    Looks like a good replacement for Mobile Me Galleries, but what about an iPad/iPhone app. Is this in the works?

    • Anonymous

      Yes, we are hard at work on an iphone app. It will run on the ipad and then we will do an ipad specific app…

  • PCorrado

    Any update on the iPhone app?
