How do you post an album on a Facebook page?

You can use your photo albums to market to your target audience on Facebook. Choosing an album photo wisely will encourage your followers to check out the album itself. Include pictures in your album that will encourage your audience to keep tabs on you and will educate your followers about your brand.

You also want to designate a photo to be the album cover, which you do by following these steps:

  1. On your Page, click the Photo app and select the album you want to work with.

    You can only set the cover for albums you’ve created. You can’t set a Cover photo for the Cover photos album or Profile pictures.

  2. Click Edit Album.

    All the images in the album are in view.

  3. Hover over the image you want to designate as the Cover.

  4. When a small drop-down arrow appears in the top-right corner of the image, click it and choose Make Album Cover.

  5. Click Done.

Use Adobe Photoshop or other photo-editing software to create beautifully designed photos that will become your album covers. Upload these photos and select them as the Cover, and you create something very clear and easy to select when viewing and sharing.

If you already have a photo album created and want to add more to that particular album, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your personal Profile and click your Page’s name in the left sidebar.

    You’re taken to your business Page.

  2. Click the Photos app box below your Cover photo.

  3. On the new page that appears, click the album to which you want to add photos.

    The album’s thumbnail images appear.

  4. Click the Add Photos button in the top-right corner of the Page.

  5. In the dialog box that appears, browse your computer for the photos you want to upload.

  6. Follow Steps 5–8 in the steps list at the beginning of “Uploading photos to your Facebook Page.”

  7. Follow the steps in the preceding list to designate a Cover photo.

Facebook is, first and foremost, a place for sharing. Sharing your thoughts, your feelings, your life events, and your photos. It's there to help you document your life, for you and everyone around you. It's a digital scrapbook.

It's easy enough to add photos to Facebook through a post, but if you want to keep them more organized — especially if you have a lot of photos - the best way to do that is to make an album.

Albums are exactly what they sound like — they're the folders in your computer's file explorer, there to help you keep track of which pictures are from. You can make an album for all the photos from a family vacation, or from a semester of school, or for someone's birthday party — the possibilities are endless. You can add photos to that album all at once, or add a few and go back and add more later as you take them.

You can add an Facebook album no matter where you are. Here's how to do it.

What is the difference between a post and an album on Facebook?

When you post a single photo, a fan sees everything right from the single thumbnail in their newsfeed. But when you post multiple photos, Facebook automatically converts it to an album and shows a main image, and thumbnails for the first 3 photos.
