Upload pictures to Facebook

Uploading pictures to Facebook and sharing them with friends is quick and easy. Here we show you how to do it.

Upload and post photos on Facebook

The fastest way to publish individual pictures or entire photo albums on Facebook is via the homepage:

• Log in to Facebook. Then select the "Pictures / Videos" button at the top next to "Status" (see screenshot).
• If you only want to post a single picture, click on "Upload photos / videos" on the left. Then select the picture on your computer, click on "Open" and can then add a short description or a place. Finally, click on "Post".
• To upload multiple images as a whole album, select "Create Photo Album" on the right. Here, too, you can select images from your computer and then sort them accordingly and provide them with descriptions.

Change profile picture and cover picture in Facebook

Since Facebook introduced the chronicle view for profiles, you can also add a so-called cover picture in addition to your profile picture.

• Click on your name on the top right of Facebook to get to your profile.
• To change the profile picture, move the mouse to your previous picture and select the button "Edit profile picture".
• Now either select an image already uploaded to Facebook, take a new photo or upload an image from your computer. You can also move the thumbnail, i.e. change the square section of the image that is displayed from the original photo.
• To change the cover picture, move the mouse over the area behind or above your profile picture. Then proceed exactly as in the case of the profile picture.
