In order to add a photo "VKontakte" to your page, apart from the one that is your main photo (avatar), you need to click on the inscription "My photos". The system will direct you to the “Photos” page. If you have not added a VKontakte photo yet, you will see an inscription that informs you that you can store an unlimited number of VKontakte photos on your personal page. And invites you to click on the link to start creating your first photo album.

Clicking on the “click here” link will take you to the “New Album” page. Here you will be asked to enter in the blank lines the name of your album with photos and its description. Under these lines, you will see information that all users can view and comment on the album and photo in VKontakte. If you left-click on the words “All users”, a context menu will appear with options for those whom you can allow and or deny to see your photos: “All users, Friends only, Friends and friends of friends, Only me, Everyone except ..., Some friends. " Select an option and click the Create Album button.

Please note that all VKontakte photos from your albums can be edited at any time by changing the settings for viewing and commenting on your VKontakte photos. However, you can edit the entire album, which means that editing settings will be applied to all photos in the album. If you want to make some VKontakte photos available only for friends, and some for everyone, you need to place them in different albums. And for each album, set your own privacy characteristics.

Photos are added to the “Photos with me” list automatically after you or your friends mark you on the “VKontakte” photo. You can delete a photo from the “Photos with me” folder only by deleting this photo from the album of the person who uploaded it. If you need to save some “VKontakte” photo from the “Photos with me” folder, use right click mouse by selecting the item "Save as". Crop a VKontakte photo so that it only contains you best of all on your computer, using any program for viewing and editing photos and then uploading it to the site.

The VKontakte website does not support VKontakte multilayer photos. therefore, you will not be able to post an animated picture.

If you accidentally blocked some VKontakte photo, you can fix the situation if you clean your browser. It doesn't matter what kind of Internet browser you use, the procedure is the same. V Mozilla Firefox you need to go to the "Tools" tab, select the "Settings" item and the "Content" tab. Check that there is a check mark next to the “Automatically upload images” box. Go to “Exceptions” and if there are addresses containing the address “vkontakte.ru”, remove them from the list.

You can add a photo with personal computer, smartphone, tablet, other modern gadget with a camera and Internet access. Even other cameras give their owners such an opportunity. Let's consider several ways to add a photo to VK.

The web site for PC makes this process very fast and convenient. If your computer or laptop contains photographs that you want to show to friends or any social users. network, then do the following:

Do you want to post a photo on the wall, send a personal message or add a photo to a comment, that is, and more quick way... Just hold down a file from any folder on your PC with the left mouse button and drag it to the browser window with an open VK on the line of typing a message, posting a post or comment, and then release it. The photo will be uploaded immediately.

If you want someone's photos to appear on your page (funny pictures, photos with you, etc.), then there are the following ways for this.

Repost the material on your page

For this you need:

When you click on it, this picture will be sent to the saved ones. These photos do not appear in the news feed of your page and users will be able to view them only when they open your albums and select an album called Saved there (if you set such parameters in the access rights to the album).

Save the photo to your computer and upload it to the site again

This can come in handy if:

You can do this in the same way as with other images on the Internet:

You need to open the photo in full size (in VK, under all photos there is an Open original button).
Click on the photo with the right mouse button and in context menu select Save Image As.
In the window for choosing the path to save on your computer, select the folder where the file will be placed. And also in the bottom line, you can select the name of the file and specify the extension in which it will be saved.

The photo file will be saved on your hard disk and you can always upload it to the contact, when you need it, using the method described earlier.

How to upload a photo from your phone

On modern smartphones good cameras... People take high-quality photos on them, who want to immediately show the result to all their friends in VK. This can be done as simply as in the web version of VK for mobile phone and in official applications for Android, Iphone (and other devices on ios). You need to perform the following operations:

Similarly, you can add photos to the wall, posts and private messages. There you will find a button in the form of a pin, Attach, by clicking on which you should select the Photo option.

On mobile devices on which VK applications are installed, the function of sending a photo to a social network is available directly in the gallery and in the menu of a new camera image.

Why photos are not loading

Sometimes problems can arise with such an operation. New photos are not uploaded. You see an incomprehensible error message, a missing picture icon, or nothing happens at all. The reasons are different.

The photo is not the right size

VK has certain criteria for the size of new photos. It can compress large and high-quality photos to the desired size, but if we are talking about an abnormally high resolution and a size of tens of megabytes, then an error message will be received. And also the site will not accept images with too unusual horizontal-to-vertical ratio: too long or wide. Then you will have to compress or trim yourself to acceptable parameters.

Attachment Restrictions

If we are talking about posts on your wall or in a group, then no more than 10 photos can be attached to them. The same limitation applies to private messages, you cannot load more than ten images in them. You can add only two photos to one comment. This is a reasonable rule of thumb and applies to all versions of the site on all platforms.

Browser problems

If you see icons for missing images or images simply do not load, then your browser is full of junk files, has a conflict with extensions, or is infected with virus programs. In such cases, different actions can be taken:

reset all settings to the original ones (usually there is such a function);
delete cookies and temporary files (these settings are always there);
conduct a full scan of your computer, or mobile device antivirus software;
disable all extensions;
check if the webcam is specified correctly in the browser settings (if it is not possible to take an instant photo on a computer / laptop).

If none of this helps, then you are not the cause.

Site problems

As with any other service, errors, bugs, and crashes happen in VK. If your photos won't load or if you can't take a snapshot, this could be a problem on the site itself. They are quickly resolved and you just need to wait a little and try again.

If the problem continues for a long time, and manipulations with the browser did not help, then try to access your contact from another browser or device. This will make sure that the problem comes from your side and you can solve this problem by asking a detailed question on an Internet search engine.
