What to do if you have 10,000 saves on VK

The developers of the social network admitted that there is a certain limit of saved photos in VK! It was this news that blew up the network at the end of the week. Find out what the photo limit is in VK and what happens to “extra” images in our article!

The situation began quite simply, one of the community owners saw an unexpected announcement on his group’s page, instructing him to clean his albums. The man refused to do this, so the system manually deleted the images from the wall and from the albums.

To the logical question: “What was that?”, representatives of the site administration replied that there is a certain limit on photos in VK, or more precisely on their uploads. The maximum number of pictures allowed for posting is in the tens of thousands (thanks to the moderators for such “accurate” information). It’s good that not all communities have such a rich supply. Therefore, most owners of personal profiles have nothing to fear for now. But if the total of pure images approaches a tidy sum, then you shouldn’t be surprised one day when you notice that something is missing. It is quite possible that the moderators got to you. That is, the total number of restrictions regarding uploading and storing photos in VK has increased by one more rule:

The image size must not exceed 5 MB;
The maximum number of images posted at a time cannot exceed 200;
The description of the picture should be 255 characters long;
The number of comments cannot exceed 2014;
You can make no more than 50 posts per day;
You can tag no more than 35 users;
The size of the main image ranges from 200 by 200 pixels to 2560 by 2048.
The maximum number of pictures in the “Photos from the Wall” album can reach 32,767 pieces.
And you can add no more than 100,000 images to one album.
And finally, a new limit - approximately 50,000 photos (but this is not exact) - this is the maximum for storing on a personal profile page or in a group.

“Why do we need a new restriction?” - you ask. Everything is simple here. Representatives of VKontakte stated that the amount of space on the server is catastrophically decreasing every day, so a decision was made to optimize the processes. In addition, as noted, the developers of the social network do not intervene in the processes on their own, but only after contacting the support service.

How did the story of the community author who was the first to talk about the photo limit in VK end? Nothing at all. His community still works, although without several thousand pictures in albums and on the wall. As the owner of the group notes: it’s a pity that he didn’t track which images fell into oblivion. So it is impossible to say clearly on what principle the system deletes files and what limit the developers have set for saved photos in VK in 2021. Well, let's wait. Maybe representatives of the social network will give more accurate information.

Any VKontakte photo can be saved to the “Saved Photos” album. This photo can then be used for your own purposes. When you add a photo for the first time, an album is automatically created and the picture is placed there. You can't delete the album itself, but you can delete photos from it. Also, your friends can go to your album and view your saved photos.
