# Publishing to the Web

Through the use of plugins, Shotwell can publish photos and videos to the following services, each of which requires an account:

Facebook

Flickr

Google Photos

YouTube (videos only)

Tumblr (videos only)

Any site running the Piwigo photo gallery software (photos only)

To publish selected photos in a collection, choose Edit Preferences and click on the Plugins tab to enable the plugin for the service you want to publish to. Next, choose, File Publish, press the Publish toolbar button or use Ctrl Shift P. You will see a dialog that lets you select a publishing service. You will then need to log in or create an account.

Publishing to Facebook requires you to grant certain permissions to the Shotwell Facebook application. You only need to grant these permissions once, when you first associate Shotwell with your Facebook account.

You will be only able to publish images with at most the permission you granted to the Shotwell Facebook application

Similarly, publishing to Flickr, YouTube or Google Photos requires you to log in and permit Shotwell Connect to access your account.
