Methods to attach an album to the wall in VK

The article discusses two main methods that make it possible to attach images, let's take a look at each. The user will be able to choose the appropriate method for himself.

From a mobile device

First, go to the VKontakte website, open your page, go through the authorization process. Next, go to the “Photos” tab, switch to the “Albums” tab, if necessary, create a new album. There is a plus sign in the upper right corner, click on it, then write the name of the album and set its privacy.

Place in album necessary photos. If you don't know how to do this, then follow the following instructions. Open the photo collection and click the “Add photo” button in the upper right corner. Select the desired photos from the gallery, wait for them to download to the selected folder, and click the “Save” button. If you need to upload photos from another media, use a USB cable or memory card to upload files.

Now make a copy of the link to the finished photo package and go to the post to which you want to attach the photo. Create a new post and paste the copied link under the post. Now click the “Submit” button. Below the entry you will see the album cover. This is a very convenient way to advertise your products or services. Participants can also use this method to exchange information different groups and communities.

From PC

To attach an album, the user needs to do the following:

• First, you should copy the link to the selected album, go to the “Photos” tab:

• Select the album you want to attach, right-click on it, a context menu will open. IN this section select “Copy link”.

• Now open your profile, create a new entry (in the “What’s new with you?” field).

• Now paste the link to the copied object, after this procedure the album cover should appear.

• Press the “Submit” button. Now the album will be attached to the wall.

If desired, the user will be able to add a description of the album. Please note that it is worth writing the text after publishing the album (if you write immediately, in addition to the photos, a link to them will be visible in the post). Click on “…” select “Edit”.

After adding the inscription, click the “Save” button. If you did everything correctly, your entry will look like this:

Possible problems

What difficulties may arise when attaching a photo album? Basically, everything works out the first time, but sometimes, due to the fact that the device does not support the photo format or the album size exceeds the permissible norm, it may not be attached to the recording. Care must be taken to ensure that unnecessary images are not accidentally attached to the post.

Also, if the Internet works intermittently, something may go wrong during the procedure and the pictures will not be attached. Before the process, be sure to check the quality of your Internet connection. If the power is turned off while attaching from a desktop computer, all changes made may not be saved, and the entire procedure will need to be repeated. To avoid such problems, it is better to constantly save changes, do not do the same work twice, save time.

As you can see, the user can attach a file to a post independently without outside help. Attach pictures to your posts and let your friends know about your news. We hope the article will be useful to you.

In the VKontakte social network, albums play an important role, providing users with the opportunity to sort data into various categories. Next, we will tell you about all the nuances that you need to know to add a new album to any section of the site.

The process of creating a VKontakte album, regardless of the type of folder, is identical both in the case of a personal page and a community. However, the albums themselves still have several differences from each other.

Option 1: Photo album

When you add a new image album, you are given the opportunity to immediately provide a title and description. Moreover, special privacy parameters can also be set during creation based on your requirements.

To better understand the process of creating an album and further adding content, check out the special article on our website.

Option 2: Video album

When adding a new section with videos, you are given a slightly smaller number of options, limited only by the name and some privacy settings. However, be that as it may, this is quite enough for such a folder.

As in the case of photo albums, we discussed the process of creating new albums for videos in as much detail as possible in another article.

The procedure for adding an album with music looks a little simpler.

You can create this kind of music folders yourself by reading the special instructions.

Mobile app

Any album on VK mobile application has the same features as in the full version of the site. As a result, we will consider only the creation process, mainly ignoring filling the folders with content.

Option 1: Photo album

Using the instructions below, you can add an album not only to the photo section on your page, but also in the community. However, this will also require additional rights access to relevant opportunities.

This is where we can finish with photo albums.

Option 2: Video album

Adding new folders for videos is not much different from the same process for photo albums. The main nuances here are the external differences between the necessary interface elements.

Ready! A video album has been created

Option 3: Music album

The mobile application also allows you to add albums with musical content to your page.

To avoid possible problems, you should be careful. In addition, we are also always ready to answer questions in the comments.

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 the 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 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 text in the “Add entry” field and attach a graphic file. To do this, click on the icon depicting a camera. You can select from the materials available on your personal page or download from your 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 photographs are taken with a mobile device camera. Rarely does anyone carry digital camera. 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 the appropriate option: “Upload from gallery” or “Take a 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 click on your avatar with a plus sign or on the camera at the top of the screen.

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.

Most people roughly understand how to change home page profile or add pictures to your own albums. However, when it comes to the VK wall itself, many are lost and do not understand how to attach this or that image there. There's nothing complicated about it.

Below are instructions that must be followed.

By the way, this is the same way to send a picture to a friend’s feed. This could be a photo of you together, a postcard, or any photo that seems appropriate.

Pin a photo to a page

Once the image has been added, you can easily pin it. This is done so that new entries on the wall do not move the photo down the list. This way, it will always be visible until you decide to unpin it.

To pin a photo, select the context menu in the form of three dots in the upper corner of the post.

There you can find the “Pin” item, thanks to which any image will immediately rise to the very top of your wall. A corresponding entry will appear next to it.

You can also unpin a photo in the same way.

Initially, you need to open your images, finding all the albums there. This can be done in the “Photos” menu on the main VK page.

Select the desired album and go to it. To do this, click on the cover of this photo collection. Once you are inside the folder itself, copy the link in your browser.

With the “send” button you place it on your wall.
