Most people roughly understand how to change their main profile page or add pictures to their own albums. However, when it comes to the VK wall itself, many are lost and do not understand how to attach this or that image there. There's nothing complicated about it.
Below are instructions that must be followed.
By the way, this is the same way to send a picture to a friend’s feed. This could be a photo of you together, a postcard, or any photo that seems appropriate.
Pin a photo to a page
Once the image has been added, you can easily pin it. This is done so that new entries on the wall do not move the photo down the list. This way, it will always be visible until you decide to unpin it.
To pin a photo, select the context menu in the form of three dots in the upper corner of the post.
There you can find the “Pin” item, thanks to which any image will immediately rise to the very top of your wall. A corresponding entry will appear next to it.
You can also unpin a photo in the same way.
Initially, you need to open your images, finding all the albums there. This can be done in the “Photos” menu on the main VK page.
Select the desired album and go to it. To do this, click on the cover of this photo collection.
Once you are inside the folder itself, copy the link in your browser.
With the “send” button you place it on your wall.
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.
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, and upload a cover if desired.
- 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.
Now you know everything you need about creating catalogs with photos, videos and audio recordings in VK. We hope you will apply this knowledge in practice, thanks to which your page or online community will look beautiful and attract many new subscribers.

Photo albums in posts on the wall
Now you have the opportunity to quickly and conveniently share photo albums with friends and subscribers via wall posting. Just copy the album link and paste it into the entry field. The album will automatically appear below as one of the attachments. If you need to add more than one album, simply insert links to them one by one: insert one - the album is attached, delete the first link and insert the second - the second album is added, and so on.

Therefore, first of all, we will look at how to make an album with photos in VK. We will also tell you how to hide it from prying eyes and upload many photos at once in one stream.
From computer
Using a PC is very convenient to create and moderate any collections on VK. Read on to learn how to do this step by step.

- Now you will need to upload photos from your PC, you can select several at once.
If you create a private album with photos in VK (accessible only to you), then in the general catalog it will be marked with a small padlock. It is located in the lower left corner of the album, next to the number of photos in it.

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.
Many Internet users work with social networks. For example, the VKontakte service is popular in Russia. This site has a lot of options for users. Let's say, here you can listen to music and look at photos. And even create playlists and photo albums. But how to attach an album to a VKontakte post if necessary? The answer to this question will be given below. In fact, everything is simpler than it seems. The main thing is to understand what kind of object you want to attach to the message.
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.
How to create an album
It is convenient to group songs into albums. This simplifies the search and allows you to listen to specific music. For example, the album “Rock”, which contains exclusively rock tracks. Or the Tony Stark album with Iron Man's favorite songs.
In the current version of VK, instead of the word Album, Playlist is used. The meaning is common, the names are different.
- go to the Music menu;
- on the right, find the button with a plus sign and click on it (when you hover the mouse cursor over the icon, the words Add playlist will appear);
- fill in the fields. Audio recordings are added only from their own list in VK, the cover is selected from pictures on the computer;
- click on the Save button.
Advice. Without a cover, the playlist looks plain and boring. In addition, it visualizes the content and topics.
The user has 3 options for attaching an album to a contact entry.
Option 1
The easiest way to add an album to your wall is to use the Share function. It will instantly attach the entire album, saving the user from pressing unnecessary buttons.
- go to the Music menu;
- hover the mouse cursor over the album;
- click on the curved arrow that appears;
- check the box on my page;
- fill in the Your comment field (the text will appear above the list of tracks on the wall);
- click on the Share button.
Ready. A post with an album attached to it has appeared on your VK wall.
Option 2
Attach a post with an album to something other than your page. You can please a friend or group on VK with your selection of tracks.
- go to the Music menu;
- click on the name of the desired playlist (album);
- in the window that opens, click on More;
- click on the line Copy link;
- go to a friend or community page;
- in the Write something line, paste the copied link (place the mouse cursor in the text input line, press the key combination Ctrl+V or use the Paste context menu);
- when the tracks are displayed, delete the link, fill the line with the necessary text (good morning buddy, top 10 coolest tracks of the summer, etc. whatever your imagination allows);

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
When you add a new image album, you are given the opportunity to immediately provide a title and description. Moreover, special privacy parameters can also be set during creation based on your requirements.
To better understand the process of creating an album and further adding content, check out the special 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 settings. However, be that as it may, this is quite enough for such a folder.

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.
How to make an external VKontakte link with a word or a picture?
to create an external VKontakte link with a word and a picture . To do this, you just need to write the site address in the message sending form. This can be done both when sending a link to the wall, and in private messages. Below in the picture you can see an example of sending such a link to our website about making money.
Useful article: What are affiliate programs and where to look for them?
After writing the link, it will be automatically converted into a kind of announcement, which will consist of the title of the article (taken from the title meta tag on the site), description (taken from the description meta tag) and an image from the page of the site to which the link is pointed.
The image can be deleted and only an external link consisting of words with a description can be left. You can also change the image by taking another one from the linked site or uploading your own. Moreover, the link will be the entire published message (link in word, image and description).
As you can see, making a VKontakte link with a word or image is not at all difficult and anyone can do it. In the next article we will talk about how you can make a VKontakte group menu that will contain external links in words or images. Subscribe to site updates to always be aware of new information.
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.
Catalog with video
To create a catalog with videos on your page or in a group, you will need to use a computer. The mobile app does not have this feature.
On your page
- Go to your page.
- Go to the "Video" section.
- Go to the "My Videos" tab.
- On the right, click “Create Album.”
- Now, as with the photo, come up with a name for it and set the privacy settings.
- Next, using the “Add Video” button, you can fill out the created catalog.
In Group
Now let's find out how to add an album with a video to a group in contact.
- Sign in to the group.
- In the menu on the right you have the “Add video” block - click on it.
- A field will appear with which you can add a video from your own or upload it from your PC.
- Once the video is added, you will see additional menu options, including “Create Album.”
- Make a new directory - we already know how.
- Go to video. Each video has a list icon in the top right corner - go to it.
- Using this icon, you can move the video to the desired collection.
Uploading photos to VK via phone
Often photographs are taken with a mobile device camera. Few people carry a digital camera with them. Therefore, there is no point in transferring data to a computer; it is easier to post it on a social network directly from the gadget.
To post photos from an 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 “Photos” link. We are interested in the “Albums” tab. Let's 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: “Upload from gallery” or “Take a photo”.
In the same way, you can upload photos in the mobile version of the browser.
The official program for mobile phones provides another interesting opportunity - publishing pictures to VKontakte history. To do this, you need to open the news and click on your avatar with a plus sign or on the camera at the top of the screen.
If the program makes a request, allow it access to the camera. Then tap 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. Under the main information there should be a “Photos” block. We go there, select the “Albums” tab. We open the one that we want to replenish, and using the plus sign in the corner, we load graphic materials from the gallery or take a photo in real time.
We publish photos through the gallery
The same result can be achieved if you go to the folder where the images are stored on your phone. About the files that need to be sent to VK, click on the icon at the top of the screen. For me it looks like in the screenshot.
Autoposting from Instagram to VK
And finally, as I promised, a little trick for fans of Instagram and VK. Open your VKontakte profile and click “Edit” under the main photo. 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 your VK profile.
I have already entered my data, so they offer me settings for transferring materials. I recommend checking the box next to “Do not import (with hashtag only).” 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 publication on the wall.
Save your results and try new possibilities. If something goes wrong, you can disable this feature at any time.
How to make a link in VK with a word to a group, profile or album
Many of us have noticed more than once how users of the social network VKontakte leave text in posts, on the wall or in comments containing a link to a person’s page or community. After clicking on the text, you automatically go to the address encrypted in the word. Such techniques are mainly used by those involved in promotion. This is how advertising looks unusual and entices with its appearance. Let's consider step by step how to make a link in VK using a word.
Making a link with a word
To convert any type of link into a word, you need to follow the same template. You can link to the community, your page, and even certain photos or albums. Well, you can also insert the code wherever there is an opportunity to write something, for example, a discussion, posts on a wall or in a message.
To user page
Let's try to make sure that the first and last names lead to the site. First, we need to go to the page of the person we are interested in and copy his identification code (id).
Now remember the simplest formula: [id numbers|User name]
This is what will allow you to encrypt the link under any word in the future.
For example, you want to write on the wall.
- We paste the ID that we copied into the line to send the message.
- We put one square bracket on the left, and after the numbers a separating line “|”.
- Now you can insert a word that will eventually be visible to everyone and lead to the desired page. For example, the first and last name of the person to whose site the link redirects. At the end we close it with a square bracket.
After you send what you wrote to the wall, instead of this formula there will be a hyperlink in the form of the person's name.
It is important to note that when creating a link, you cannot put spaces next to parentheses or separators. They are allowed only in the phrase that will serve as a hyperlink.
Per group
In fact, for a community or group, everything is created according to the same scheme. However, many are faced with the fact that in a group, instead of an identification code, there is a word or phrase in the browser line.
- Then, instead of a digital value, insert this particular word or phrase into the formula after the opening square bracket.
- Copy it without http or www.
- Only in the case of a word you don’t need to write “id”.
Now we put a separating sign and a word that, when clicked on, will lead to the group.
For an album or post
When you create a hyperlink to a photo album or post, the principle remains the same.
- Open the desired album or post and copy the numbers from the browser.
- Next, we insert the last numbers into our formula and place them where necessary.
- Then be sure to put the id directly in the formula.
It is important to remember that wherever you send the diagram, always copy only the numbers in the address bar.
This is what happens in the end.
It is not possible to create a hyperlink in the form of a word to an external site. Unfortunately, Contact does not yet provide such an opportunity.
Conclusion
We considered all possible ways to solve the problem. The developers tried to make this process as simple as possible, as you have already seen for yourself. This method often helps in advertising to promote your content. Share in the comments if this article was useful to you.
Video
You can consolidate the result by watching a video that clearly explains how to turn a word into a hyperlink.
