How Do You Upload a Picture of a Relative on Facebook?

Grandpa may not want his photo online.

One of Facebook's most popular features is its multiple photo album options. You can easily add pictures of friends and family for the world to enjoy. The procedure for uploading pictures of a relative is no different for any other photo, but there are a few social steps that you should take to prevent family strife.

Instructions

1. Ask your relative's permission before uploading a picture. If the relative is older or does not use the Internet much, he many not like the idea of a picture of himself being put online.

2. Log into your Facebook account and navigate to your profile.

3. Click the "Photos" link on the left side of your profile.

4. Click the album that you wish to put the photo into, then click "Add Photos" at the upper right corner of the album.

   If you wish to create a new album, click the "+ Upload Photos" button at the upper right of your main Photos page.

5. Click "Select Photos" in the popup window and choose the picture that you want to upload from your computer's hard drive.

6. Click "Open" once you have selected the photo and wait for it to upload. If you are creating a new album, you can name it at this time.

7. Enter a title and description for the photo. If your relative is on Facebook, tag him if desired.

Tips & Warnings
