A complete overview of the possibilities for working with VKontakte Albums

What can be attached

When thinking about how to attach an album to a post on the VKontakte social network, you first need to understand what kind of object we are talking about. A lot depends on this.

At the moment, you can attach the following albums:

• musical;
• video;
• with photos.

Additionally, you can insert individual photos, videos and audio into messages, as well as upload various documents. For example, in .doc format.

Important: photos and video albums are attached in the same way.

Catalog with audio

By analogy with the previous point, we can make a catalog with music.

On your page

So let's start with the instructions for your personal profile:

• Go to the page.
• Open the "Audio" section.
• When you are there, open the “Playlists” tab.
• On the right you will see a list icon with a plus sign - click on it.

• A window will appear to create a new playlist. Enter a title, description, if desired, upload a picture to display, and then you can always change the cover of the playlist.
• Using the "Add Audio" button you can fill out the playlist.
• Click "Save".

In Group

Creating a public music catalog is very similar to creating a video album. That's why:

• Join the group.
• In the menu on the right, click “Add Audio”, and then repeat all the points from the instructions about creating a video album in a group.

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.

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". Done, new material has been published 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.

Create a playlist

How to attach a music album to a VKontakte post? First you have to create a playlist. This is what you can quickly send to your friends or post on your wall.

To achieve the corresponding result, you will need:

1. Open the “My Music” section on the VKontakte social network.
2. At the top of the window, click on the “Create playlist” button.
3. Set audio archive parameters and add tracks.
4. Save changes.

That's all. Now we can say that the music album has been created. But what next?

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.

Mobile app

Any VK album in the 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 access rights to the relevant features.

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.

In contact, you can exchange photos via messages, as well as attach them to a specific post on the page. Today we will tell you how to attach an album to a VKontakte post, and you can do everything you need yourself.
