What should I do if the photos are not loading?
The reasons for this situation can be different: an old version of the browser, a virus, inappropriate resolution, incorrect format, or an overcrowded album.
To avoid this, you need to know the requirements for photographs:
- The smallest size is 200X200
- The largest size is 7000X7000
- Most number of files in one album – 10,000
- Supported formats - jpg, png, gif
The restriction on uploading photos also applies to the album with saved photos. If the limit is reached, then transfer some of the pictures to another album and the save option will again become available to you.
Adding a photo without losing quality
Many people note that when a photo gets on VKontakte, it becomes the same as it was. The whole point here is that the downloader compresses the photo. This problem cannot be eliminated, but the loss of quality can be minimized.
To do this, the uploaded photo should not have a resolution of less than 1000 pixels, and before uploading it is better to sharpen it a little more. Moreover, it is recommended not to use the “Add new photos” , but to drag and drop them directly from the computer.
Advanced users can also be advised to convert the photo for the Web ( Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S ), and then edit the quality settings and check the box next to “Convert to sRGB” .
Photo Conversion
If you just need to send photos to a friend, then upload them first to the “Documents ” , and then send them in a personal message.
How to edit photos on VKontakte?
This operation is of two types:
- Changing colors, rotating, cropping, etc.

Photo editing
The result of making changes can be anything.
Edit result
The mobile version and application do not have an editor, since their functionality is very limited.
Therefore, if necessary, change the photo before uploading.
