  5. Step 5

    Go to the page where you can upload your photos from your computer. Choose the folder you want to upload your photos from. After you've chosen the folder, the photos in that folder should show up. Click the boxes next to the photos you want to add to your album.

  6. Step 6

    Click the "upload" button at the top right of the upload photo box once you've chosen all the photos you want in that album (limit of 60). This will take you to a page where you can edit the caption of the photo and tag your friends.

  7. Step 7

    Hit the "Save changes" button at the bottom of the screen. Once you've done this, your album will be added to your profile.

Tips & Warnings
  • Tag friends in your photos.
  • Give captions so your friends know what was going on in the photos.
  • Choose only the photos you want others to see.
  • Set your privacy levels before adding photos. If you don't want certain people to see these photos of you, be sure to figure that out before you upload them to Facebook.
