If you’ve ever wished you had a simpler way to download images from Facebook, PickNZip is the solution. Quite simply, the service allows you to select your own albums, friends’ albums, pictures you’ve been tagged in and the like and download them into a zip file or a PDF.
While this sounds like a useless service to some, consider the time saved from having to right click and “save as” on tons of images in an album that you want to save. Let’s say your buyer spent the weekend taking hundreds of pictures of their home they love and are about to close on. Wouldn’t you want to document that permanently rather than rely on a third party service like Facebook that could arbitrarily change its rules and terms tomorrow and no longer allow pictures to be downloaded? That’s unlikely, but the point is that you may be relying on a third party.
If you host a party and want to put all of those event pictures into an Animoto video to embed on your blog, or you want to put together an animated thank you card for your sellers that gave you the great honor of letting you sell their clunker! (Note: you have to be Facebook friends to be able to access their pictures.)
I’m socially active and I’m part of a generation that documents everything with pictures, so I love that I can pull hundreds of my Facebook pictures into a zip file as backup in case I upset the Facebook gods. What can you see yourself using PackNZip for?
