How to add a photo to a page in VK. How to add a photo to VKontakte: step by step instructions for publishing photos from a computer and phone. Why are photos not loading?

Hello dear site readers.

Let's start with posting on a personal page, then we'll talk about communities, pay attention to posting from a phone, and in the end we'll learn how to quickly post materials from Instagram on VKontakte.

There are several options for such placement: on the wall, in the photo section, in the album and by setting the avatar. You may find some or all of them useful. Let's analyze each method separately.

On the wall

To attach an image to a post, click the camera icon below the text. You can post graphics without an accompanying message, but this is rarely done.

In File Explorer on your computer, select the required file. Or take a live photo, it will appear under the new entry. Click Submit. Done, new material posted on the wall.

On the page

Go to the corresponding menu item.

Click on the "Add Photos" button. Select one or more files in Explorer, open them. Now you can make some adjustments:

• make a description
• turn,
• open photo editor,
• remove if necessary.

All this is done with the help of icons on each thumbnail.

After processing is complete, we confirm our desire to publish the images on the site.

Now you can see them in your account in the appropriate section.

In the album

If you still don't know that graphics can be stored in separate folders, read the article on how to create an album in VK. If you already have ready-made catalogs, after uploading photos from your hard drive, you can choose not to “Publish on my page”, but “Add to album”.

In the window that opens, select the location where you want to move the files.

Main profile photo

Hover over the current image, a menu will pop up. Select Update Photo.

Here you can take a snapshot or upload a ready-made one from your computer. When the download is complete, confirm your choice with the "Save and Continue" button, or go back and select another option.

At the end, define an area for a small avatar that will be shown next to your messages and in the friends list of other users. Save your changes.

Adding a photo to the community

If you are a creator or administrator of a community, then posting graphic content is a mandatory part of the work of filling it. Here, as well as in a personal profile, there are several options for publishing materials: on a page, in an album, changing the main thumbnail.

And we will apply the same methods. First, go to the main menu section "Groups", "Management" and go to the community that we plan to edit.

To publish news with a picture on the wall, write the text in the "Add post" field and attach a graphic file. To do this, click on the icon depicting the camera. You can choose from the materials available on the personal page or download from a PC. When the download is complete, we send the content to the wall.

To create and fill a group album, you need to go to the "Management", "Sections" menu and add the ability to publish photos. The program offers to choose from 2 types of access - open and closed. In the first case, all members of the group can post photos, in the second, only administrators. We save the settings and move on.

Here you can upload images to the main catalog created automatically or go to the “All Photos” - “Create Album” tab.

After that, you can download the pictures saved on the hard disk. To do this, go to the album and click on "Add Photos" or drag and drop documents from a folder on your computer.

To change the "face" of the group, upload a picture to the main page.

Uploading photos to VK via phone

Often the pictures are taken with the camera of a mobile device. Few people carry a digital camera with them. Therefore, it makes no sense to transfer data to a computer, it is easier to post it on a social network directly from the gadget.

To post photos from your iPhone or Android mobile device, go to the official social network app. Open the menu by clicking on the three dots in the corner of the screen and click on the "Photos" link. We are interested in the "Albums" tab. Let's go there.

If necessary, create a new folder, if not, add files to an existing one. To do this, click on the plus sign and then on the appropriate option: "Download from the gallery" or "Take a picture."

Similarly, you can upload photos in the mobile version of the browser.

The official mobile program provides another interesting opportunity - to publish pictures in the history of VKontakte. To do this, open the news and at the top of the screen click on your avatar with a plus sign or on the camera.

If the program makes a request, allow it access to the camera. Then click on the big circle at the bottom of the screen and take a picture. The story will be shown to friends and subscribers during the day.

Posting images to the community

To add a photo to a group, go to it. Under the main information there should be a block "Photos". We go there, select the "Albums" tab. We open the one we want to replenish, and with the help of the plus sign in the corner we load graphic materials from the gallery or take a picture in real time.

Publishing photos through the gallery

The same result can be achieved if you go to the folder where the images are stored on the phone. Mark with "birds" the files that you want to send to VK, click on the icon at the top of the screen. It looks like the screenshot for me.

Autoposting from Instagram to VK

And finally, as I promised, a little trick for fans of Instagram and VK. Open your VKontakte profile, under the main photo, click "Edit". In the menu on the right, go to "Contacts".

At the bottom of the window we see the inscription "Integration with other services." When you click on it, social networks will appear with which you can link your VK profile.

I've already entered my details, so I'm being offered content transfer settings. I recommend putting a checkmark next to the inscription "Do not import (only with a hashtag)". Then not all posts will be automatically transferred from Instagram to VK, but only those where the hashtag #vk will be - for import into a pre-selected album, #vkpost - for publication on the wall.

Save the result and try new features. If something goes wrong, you can disable this feature at any time.
