Methods to attach an album to the wall in VK
This article discusses two main ways that you can 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. Then go to the "Photos" tab, switch to the "Albums" tab, if necessary, create a new album. In the upper right corner there is a plus sign, click on it, then write the name of the album and set its privacy.
Arrange the photos you want in the album. If you do not know how to do this, then follow the next instruction. Open the collection of pictures, in the upper right corner, click the "Add photo" button. Select the necessary photos from the gallery, wait for the download to the selected folder, click the "Save" button. If you need to upload photos from other media, please use a USB cable or memory card to upload files.

Now click the "Submit" button. Below the post, you will see the album cover. This is a very convenient way to advertise your products or services. Also, members of different groups and communities can use this method to exchange information.
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).

- Press the "Send" button. The album will now attach to the wall.
Optionally, the user can add a description of the album. Please note, it is worth writing the text after the publication of the album (if you write right away, in addition to the photo in the post, you will see a link to them). Click on “…” select “Edit”.
After adding the caption, click the “Save” button. If you did everything correctly, your entry will look like this:
Possible problems
What difficulties can arise while attaching a photo album? Basically, everything works the first time, but sometimes due to the fact that the device does not support the photo format or the size of the album exceeds the allowable norm, it may not be attached to the recording. Care should be taken to ensure that unnecessary images are not accidentally attached to the recording.
Also, if the Internet is working intermittently, during the procedure, something may go wrong, and the pictures will not be attached. Before the process, be sure to check the quality of the Internet connection. If the power is cut off from the stationary computer during attachment, then all the changes made may not be saved, and the whole 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 the file to the record on his own without any outside help. Attach pictures to publications and let your friends know about your news. We hope this article will be useful to you.
On the VKontakte social network, albums play an important role, providing users with the ability 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 in 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
If you add a new album with images, you are given the opportunity to immediately specify a title and description. Moreover, during creation, special privacy parameters can also be set based on your requirements.
For a better understanding of the process of creating an album and further adding content, check out the dedicated 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 parameters. However, be that as it may, this is quite enough for such a folder.
As in the case of photo albums, the process of creating new albums for video recordings was discussed in detail in another article.
The procedure for adding an album with music looks a little simpler.
You can easily create such music folders yourself after reading the special instructions.
Mobile app
Any VK album in a mobile application has the same features as in the full version of the site. As a consequence, we will only consider the creation process, mainly ignoring the filling of folders with content.
Option 1: Photo Album
Following the instructions below, you can add an album not only to the section with photos on your page, but also in the community. However, this also requires additional access rights to the corresponding capabilities.
This is where we can finish with the photo albums.
Option 2: Video Album
Adding new movie folders is not much different from the process for photo albums. The main nuances here are the external differences of the required interface elements.
Done! Album with videos created
Option 3: Music Album
The mobile application also allows you to add albums with music content to your page.
To avoid potential 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 by posting on a personal page, then we'll talk about communities, pay attention to publishing from a phone, and at the end we'll find out how to quickly post materials from Instagram to VKontakte.
There are several options for such placement: on the wall, in the photos section, in the album and by setting an avatar. You may find some or all of them useful. Let's analyze each method separately.
On the wall
To attach an image to the publication, under the text, click on the camera icon. You can post graphics without an accompanying message, but this is rarely done.
In Windows Explorer, select the file you want. Alternatively, take a snapshot in real time, 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 button "Add photos". We select one or several files in the explorer, open them. Now you can make certain adjustments:
- make a description,
- turn,
- open photo editor,
- remove if necessary.
All this is done with the help of icons on each miniature.
After finishing the processing, 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 do not 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 over the current image, a menu will pop up. Select Refresh 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 choose another option.
Finally, define an area for a small avatar that will appear next to your posts and in other users' friends list. Save your changes.
Add a photo to the community
If you are a creator or administrator of a community, then posting graphic content is a mandatory 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 section of the main menu "Groups", "Management" and go to the community that we plan to edit.
To publish a news item with a picture on the wall, write a text in the "Add post" field and attach a graphic file. To do this, click on the icon depicting a camera. You can choose from the materials available on the personal page or download from a PC. When the download is complete, 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 group members 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 tab “All photos” - “Create album”.
Then you can download the pictures saved on your 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 snapshot to the main page.
Uploading photos to VK via phone
Pictures are often 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 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 link "Photos". We are interested in the "Albums" tab. We 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: "Download from the gallery" or "Take a picture".
Similarly, you can upload photos in the mobile browser version.
The official program for mobiles 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 to access the camera. Then click on 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. There should be a "Photos" block under the main information. We go there, select the "Albums" tab. We open the one that 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.
We publish photos through the gallery
You can achieve the same result by going to the folder where the images are stored on the phone. Mark the files that need to be sent to VK with "birds", click on the icon at the top of the screen. It looks like it looks like in the screenshot.
Autoposting from Instagram to VK
And finally, as I promised, a little trick for Instagram and VK fans. We open our VKontakte profile, under the main photo we press "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 a profile in VK.
I have already entered my details, so I am offered settings for the transfer of materials. I recommend that you put a checkmark in front of the inscription “Do not import (only with hashtag)”. 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 posting on the wall.
Save results and try new opportunities. If something goes wrong, you can turn off this feature at any time.
Conclusion
Today we looked at many ways to post a photo on VKontakte. Choose the ones that are suitable and convenient for you, get a lot of likes for your posts, fill in and. Share your impressions of the information received in the comments, ask questions. And I say goodbye to you, but I know that there are many interesting meetings ahead.
