Suspected PayPal Hackers Seek Deal To Stay Out Of Prison
Did A Google Earth Mistake Cause A Couple's Brutal Murder?
Move photos from Flickr to Picasa Web, Photobucket, etc. with Migratr
Migratr does exactly what its name suggests -- if you insert an 'e' before the last letter, anyway. It migrates your images from one image-hosting site to another.
Other than sounding a bit like an angry person looking for their cheese grater, and moving images around the Web, that's about it. It preserves meta data, descriptions and tags -- and even album organization. What I can't tell you is whether it works equally well across all of the photo sharing services, but there's a support forum if you need some help getting things working. For me, it was simply a matter of authenticating with Flickr and Picasa... and that was that. Easy.
You can import/export from/to: 23HQ, Flickr, Gallery2, Picasa Web, Phanfare, Photobucket, SmugMug, Zenfolio and Zoomr. Are there any other large services on the Web? Expect to see support for them soon, if so!
Looking at the files it creates, it simply downloads every image and stores all of the relevant details in an XML file -- so you don't need to worry about being 'locked down' to some weird storage format.
Migratr is exactly what you need to escape one photo dump and join another -- download it. You may not need it right now, but one day you might!

I think it is a missing an 'o' not an 'e'

I was just looking for a good way to do this as I'm debating the pros and cons of Picasa Web vs Flickr. They each have good options but it's hard to really compare.

So now you can pick one... then mirror your photos on the other... and CHOOSE! Genius.

This would of been awesome a month ago. I had to move everything manually, not to mention there is no download option for any videos that you upload to Flickr and had to use Orbit Downloader Grab++ to get my videos back. -.-

Well, for next time then... or when a friend/family member asks you if it's possible... now you know it is!!
See, don't you feel warm inside?
