Whether you are adding pictures to your personal Facebook account or a business page, Facebook gives you an assortment of options and features. This can be a bit overwhelming if you have not used Facebook in a while. You can edit the pictures, tag people, add text and apply stickers. You can also control the quality and size of your pictures so that Facebook does not automatically edit them for you.
Adding photos to your news feed is quick and easy. The process for adding them to your personal news feed is similar to adding them to a business page.
If you have the Facebook app on your smartphone, you can also add photos directly from the phone's photo gallery.
Before uploading a photo, Facebook gives you the option to edit it. You can do this by hovering over the photo and selecting Edit before you click the Share button. When the Edit window opens, you have several options:
Facebook albums are the best way to organize photos, particularly if you want to restrict who can see sets of photos. Both photos and videos can be added to albums.
Whenever you want to add a new picture to the album or edit its contents, go to your Photos and select the album.
At its default settings, Facebook automatically resizes and reduces the quality of photos when you upload them. You can keep this from happening if you upload pictures that are already optimized for Facebook.
All photos should be saved as JPEG files, using an sRGB color profile. Cover photos should be 851 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall, with a file size less than 100KB. All other photos should be 720 pixels, 960 pixels or 2048 pixels wide.

Posting other people's pictures to your timeline is part of the Facebook experience, but if you do it incorrectly you could offend a friend or even invoke the wrath of copyright lawyers. Facebook encourages you to post pictures from other timelines, but the company wants you to use the Share link so that the original poster gets credit and maintains control over the image. You can also copy an image and post it to your timeline without using the Share link, but you should first ask permission from the owner both as a courtesy and to avoid infringing on copyrights.
Log in to Facebook and navigate to the timeline containing the picture you want to display on your own timeline.
Click the "Share" link beneath the picture.
Select "On Your Own Timeline" from the sharing options.
Type a caption or comment in the "Write Something" field if you want a short blurb to appear with the photo on your own timeline.
Activate the audience selection menu and select a privacy setting such as "Public" or "Friends." This will control who can see it on your timeline. Keep in mind that If the original photo has a privacy setting of friends-only, none of your friends can see it on your timeline unless they are also friends with the original poster.
Click "Share Photo." A copy of the photo appears on your timeline, along with the original caption and a link to the timeline where the page was posted originally. A new comment thread opens on your timeline. If anyone clicks on the picture, however, she can view the comment thread from the original timeline.
Contact the owner of the picture for permission to copy the image onto your own timeline. In most cases, ownership of a picture belongs to the original photographer, and that may not be the person who posted the image on his timeline. If the person who took the picture is a family member or close friend, verbal permission is probably okay. In other cases, try to get written permission; an email or Facebook private message will suffice as long as you keep a copy.
Log in to Facebook and navigate to the timeline containing the picture.
Right-click the picture and select "Save Image As" or "Save Picture As," depending on your browser. A file dialog box opens.
Navigate to the location on your computer where you want to save the image file, and then give the file a new name.
Click "Save." Your browser saves the picture to your hard drive.
Navigate to your own timeline, and then click the "Photo" option in the Status window where you add posts to your timeline.
Click "Upload Photos/Video," and then select the image file you saved to your hard drive.
Click "Open" to add the picture to your status update. A thumbnail image appears in the Status window. The picture will be larger when you actually post it.
Type any caption or comment that you want to appear with the picture, and then select a privacy setting for the update.
Click "Post" to add the picture to your timeline.
