If you're having trouble uploading or posting photos on Facebook, here are some things you can try.
Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash
- To get the latest version of Adobe Flash:
- Remove outdated versions of Adobe Flash that might be on your computer.
- Download the latest version of Adobe Flash.
- Quit all web browsers before you begin installing.
- Most of the time, this will fix any issues with sharing photos to Facebook.
Manage any adblocking software
- If you're using adblocking software, turn it off or make sure that Facebook is included as an exception.
Check your photo format
- Try uploading the original photo instead of an edited version. Editing photos (example: with iPhoto or Photoshop) before uploading them may cause the upload to fail.
- We recommend uploading JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF or TIFF files. If you're uploading a PNG file, it's best to keep the file size below 1 MB. PNG files larger than 1 MB may appear pixelated.
- Check the size of the photo. We recommend uploading photos under 15 MB.
Update your browser
- Make sure you're using the latest version of your browser.
Check your Facebook Support Inbox
- If you're still having trouble, go to your Support Inbox. If you've been warned for posting abusive content, you may be temporarily blocked from uploading photos.
