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,
• to 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 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 your hard drive, you can select 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 text in the “Add entry” field and attach a 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, create a new folder; if not, add files to the existing one. To do this, click on the plus sign and then on suitable option: “Upload from gallery” or “Take photo.”

In the same way, you can upload photos in the mobile version of the 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. We go there, 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, it will appear social media, with which you can link a profile in VK.

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.

Conclusion

Today we looked at many ways to publish a photo on VKontakte. Choose the ones that are suitable and convenient for you, get a lot of likes on your posts, fill in and. Share your impressions of the information received in the comments and ask questions. And I say goodbye to you, but I know that there are many interesting meetings ahead.
