How to Put a Christmas Picture on Facebook

Facebook allows users to add up to 200 pictures per album.

Putting a Christmas -- or any -- picture on Facebook is an easy way to ensure that friends and family from anywhere in the world can share in the celebration. It seems strange to think that just a few years ago, Christmas pictures could be shared only through snail mail or e-mail. With the evolution of social media, pictures can now be uploaded to sites like Facebook in a matter of minutes.

Instructions

Wall Photos

1. Download and save the Christmas pictures from your camera to your computer.

2. Log in to your Facebook account with your e-mail address and password.

3. Click "Photo" to the right of "Share" on the top of your home page or profile page. Likewise, you can post pictures to a friend's wall by going to his profile page and also clicking "Photo" at the top.

4. Click "Upload a Photo" from the menu, and then click "Browse." Navigate to the location on the computer where the photo is stored. Select the photo and click "Open."

5. Add an optional caption, and click "Share." The picture will now appear on your wall or your friend's wall.

Album Photos

1. Click "Photo" to the right of "Share" on the top of your home page or profile page. Select "Create an Album" from the menu, and then click "Select Photos."

2. Locate the pictures on your computer. PC users can select multiple pictures by holding down the Control key, while Mac users can hold down the Command key. When the pictures have been selected, click "Open." The pictures will begin to upload. Depending on how many pictures were chosen, this can take a few minutes.

3. Click "Create an Album" when the upload is finished.

4. Click "Share" under the album to choose how the album is posted and who can see it.
