Taking Photos and Posting: YouTube’s Complete Guidebook
Even though you don’t upload content to the platform, you can admit to dedicating a few hours a week to binge-watching other creators’ posts. We have associated YouTube with short clips or long videos that keep us indulged and glued to our seats. Apart from posting videos, you can also post photographs on the platform. Here is an article discussing helpful tools and tips on how to post a picture on YouTube.
How To Upload Photos to YouTube?
We understand that you might still be adamant and wonder whether posting a picture on YouTube is possible. You could either post a photo on the Community tab or convert the image(s) to a short video clip that the platform can accept. Keep reading to learn more about these two methods.
Method 1. Post a Picture on YouTube Community
The first method you can use is to post the photo on the Community tab. However, it would be best to remember that this option is only available to YouTube channels with at least 1000 subscribers. We suppose that YouTube doesn’t give much recognition to smaller channels that haven’t gained much traction.
Here is an easy guide on how to upload photos on YouTube using the community tab.
Step 1. Open the YouTube platform and click on the “Community” tab.
Step 2. Click “Image” to upload a photo from your device.
Step 3. Drag and drop the image you want to upload, as shown below.
Step 4. Select “Reposition” to change how your audience will see the photo on their feed.
Step 5. Write a caption for your photo.
Step 6. Click on the “Save Preview” button to confirm whether you are happy with your changes.
Step 7. Click “Post” to upload your photo to YouTube.
Tips
Before you try your hand at posting in the Community tab, read through these tips we have compiled to help your work easier.
- Ensure you check whether community posting on your channel is off. The platform won’t make this option available if your primary audience is children or you are using a supervised account.
- Your photo should not exceed 16 MB. Any image you upload above this upper limit will probably be cropped or fail to upload to the tab.
- It would be best to ensure your aspect ratio is 1:1 because this is how they appear on the feed. You wouldn’t want the photo to appear zoomed in on the middle ground when you intended to show the entire picture.
- The best file formats to upload to your Community Tab include GIF, JPG, WEBP, and PNG.
- Ensure your photo doesn’t violate the YouTube Community Guidelines, lest the moderators take it down. In a worst-case scenario, you might receive a strike. We all know that three strikes will lead to the closure of your YouTube channel.
Method 2. Use Image to Video Makers Online to Post Pictures on YouTube
As we mentioned above, YouTube is a platform primarily designed for videos. If the Community tab is not yet accessible, you might wonder how to upload a photo on a YouTube channel. There are various offline and online methods you can use to convert your image to a video clip, which you can then upload to YouTube.
