How to add a photo to a contact? How to add a photo to VKontakte. A few simple ways to add a photo to a new contact

Hello, dear readers of the site.

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

There are several options for this placement: on the wall, in the photography section, in an album, and by setting an avatar. You may find some or all of them useful. Let's look at 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 Explorer on your computer, select the required file. Or take a photo in real time, it will appear under new entry. Click "Submit". Ready, 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 and open them. Now you can make some adjustments:

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

All this is done using 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 don't already 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 hard drive You can choose not “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 your cursor over the current image and a menu will pop up. Select Update Photo.

Here you can take a snapshot or download 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.

Finally, define an area for a small avatar that will appear next to your messages and in other users' friends lists. Save your changes.

Add a photo to the community

If you are the creator or administrator of a community, then posting graphic content is an obligatory part of filling it out. Here, 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 use the same techniques. 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 entry” field and attach graphic file. To do this, click on the icon depicting a camera. You can choose from those available on personal page materials or download from a PC. When the download is complete, we post the content to the wall.

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

Here you can upload images to the main directory created automatically or go to the “All photos” tab - “Create an album”.

You can then download pictures saved on your hard drive. To do this, go to the album and click on “Add photos” or drag documents from a folder on your computer with the mouse.

To change the “face” of the group, upload a photo to the main page.

Uploading photos to VK via phone

Often pictures are taken with a camera mobile device. Few people carry a digital camera with them. Therefore, there is no point in transferring data to a computer; it is easier to post it on a social network directly from the gadget.

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

If necessary, we create new folder, if not, add files to the existing one. To do this, click on the plus sign and then on the appropriate option: “Upload from gallery” or “Take a photo”.

Similarly, you can upload photos to mobile version browser.

The official program for mobile phones provides another interesting opportunity - publishing pictures to VKontakte history. To do this, you need to 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 tap the big circle at the bottom of the screen and take a photo. The story will be shown to friends and subscribers throughout 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 “Photos” block. Go there and select the “Albums” tab. We open the one that we want to replenish, and using the plus sign in the corner, we load graphic materials from the gallery or take a photo in real time.

We publish photos through the gallery

The same result can be achieved if you go to the folder where the images are stored on your phone. Check the files that need to be sent to VK and click on the icon at the top of the screen. For me it looks like in the screenshot.

Autoposting from Instagram to VK

And finally, as I promised, a little trick for fans of Instagram and VK. Open your VKontakte profile and click “Edit” under the main photo. 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 have already entered my data, so they offer me settings for transferring materials. I recommend checking the box next to “Do not import (with hashtag only).” Then not all posts will be automatically transferred from Instagram to VK, but only those with the hashtag #vk - for import into a pre-selected album, #vkpost - for publication on the wall.

Save your results and try new possibilities. If something goes wrong, you can disable this feature at any time.

The web version of the site for PC makes this process very fast and convenient. If you store photo materials on your computer or laptop that you want to show to friends or any social media users. network, then do the following:

Whether you want to post a photo on the wall, send a personal message or add a photo to a comment, that is, more quick way.

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 only be able to view them when they open your albums and select an album called Saved (if you set such parameters in the album permissions).

This may be useful if:

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

1. You need to open the photo in full size (in VK there is an Open original button under all photos).
2. Right-click on the photos and context menu select Save Image As.
3. In the window for selecting the save path on your computer, select the folder where the file will be placed. And also in the bottom line you can select the file name and indicate the extension in which it will be saved.

How to post a photo from your phone

On modern smartphones good cameras. People take high-quality photos with them and want to immediately show the result to all their friends on 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 iOS devices). You need to perform the following operations:

Similarly, you can add photos to the wall, posts and personal messages. There you will find a button in the form of a pin Attach, when you click on it you should select the Photo option.

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

Why are the photos not loading?

Sometimes problems can arise with this operation. New photos are not loading. You see a strange error message, a missing picture icon, or nothing happens at all. The reasons vary.

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 required 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. Also, the site will not accept images with too unusual horizontal and vertical ratios: too long or wide. Then you will have to compress or trim it yourself to allowable parameters.

Restrictions on attaching materials

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 restriction applies to personal messages; you cannot upload more than ten images to them. You can add only two photos per comment. This is a reasonable rule, and it applies to all versions of the site on all platforms.

Browser problems

If you see icons of 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, you can take different actions:

• reset all settings to the original ones (usually such a function is available);
• delete cookies and temporary files (these settings are always there);
• conduct a full scan of your computer or mobile device with antivirus software;
• disable all extensions;
• check in the browser settings whether the webcam is specified correctly (if you can’t do it instant photograph on a computer/laptop).

If none of this helps, then the problem is not you.

Problems with the site

As with any other service, VK has errors, bugs, and crashes. If your photos aren't loading or you can't take a snapshot, there could be problems with 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 logging into your contact from another browser or device. This will make sure that the problem is coming from your end and you can solve this problem by asking a detailed question in an Internet search engine.
