# Export to Flickr

The last of the 3 steps of geocoding is materialized by the green toolbar tab. This is where you export geocoded images.
You may upload your images to Flickr directly from within HoudahGeo. This allows you to easily share your geocoded images with family, friends and the world.

## Selected images only

Only images previously selected in the main window will be processed.

## Geocoded images only

Only images with latitude and longitude values will be processed.

## Maximum image size

In order to maximize compatibility and reduce bandwidth use, HoudahGeo converts your images to the JPEG format before uploading. In order to further reduce bandwidth usage you may set a maximum size (height or width) to scale the image down to.
You can freely choose a size during export. Flickr however limits the resolution you may access online if you have a free account.

## Include machine tags

Flickr supports two ways of attaching location information to a photo. The first is based on EXIF tags which HoudahGeo automatically attaches to the images it uploads. The second involves special machine tags. These are special tags which the Flickr server knows to interprete. E.g. geo:lat=34.073157 geo:lon=-118.452398
Some Flickr clients rely on the presence of these tags. It is best to let HoudahGeo attach those.
In order to fully benefit from uploading geocoded images to Flickr, you need to enable the "Import EXIF location data" option in your Flickr privacy settings.

## Privacy

This setting determines who may see the photos you are about to publish. Possible values are: Public, Friends & Family, Friends, Family, Private.

## Set

You may choose to add your photos to one of your Flickr sets. Either pick one from the list or enter a name to have HoudahGeo create a new set.

## Clear credentials

HoudahGeo needs to be authorized for use with your Flickr account. Once you have done this, HoudahGeo stores your Flickr credentials. Should you want to use HoudahGeo with another Flickr account, you need to first clear the existing credentials.
