TinyUploads is a really simple Adobe AIR application that work in conjunction with a website of the same name. The concept is that you drag images into the AIR app they are then thumb nailed and resized then uploaded to the TinyUploads website. You are then given a shortened URl to view your images in your browser.

TinyUploads lets you share your photos fast! Resize images and upload online in just one click! Share pictures with your friends by embedding them in your blog or a variety of other ways!

The result is not shown within the AIR app but instead it fires a browser window to show your URL’s and shared images. Why not do this within the AIR app?

Design eye

A very simple UI going on here. The only way to get images into the app is to drag them in. Best practice would be to include a way to browse for files on your system using a standard file dialogue window, it’s so simple to do this should be included in the next release.

Also there is no confirmation when deleting the images. A select all option would be a nice addition too. A custom size setting for the image resize options would be good, I guess the resizing is done on the server which limits this option.

Technical eye

Built using Adobe Flex 3, Adobe AIR and the TinyUploads closed API.

In summary

Nice simple way to visually upload and resize images to this service. The sharing URL’s and ability to see your images using a lightbox style overlay works well. Not full of features but then that is not the point of this AIR app.
