Photos from open sources

Blocking the social network VKontakte in Ukraine threatens the loss of access to thousands of photos. Nowadays you can still download the necessary pictures from your own or someone else’s page, but saving them one by one is very long and problematic.

Why is this necessary?

VK is a social network that is always popular. Today the site ranks first in the CIS in terms of the number of active users. Why are more and more people registering on it?

• The portal allows you to always stay in touch with friends.
• It is possible to quickly exchange messages using the site.
• Comfortably communicate with other users.
• Subscribe to interesting communities.
• Quickly learn about the latest news on the Internet.
• Create your own music library and listen to your favorite music.
• There is a special application for smartphone.
• The phone program makes using the site easier.
• You will be pleased with the convenience of this resource.

VK has the ability to save photos and pictures. A similar function may be required in the following cases:

1. You want to keep the photo in your album for quick access to viewing it.
2. The image contains important information that should always be at hand.
3. You just liked the picture or meme, you don’t want to lose it.

You can store an unlimited number of images in an album. In most cases, users fill it with various pictures or memes that they found in groups. Therefore, the real value of all images is not that high.

Sometimes users need to delete all saved photos in a contact all at once. But first, let's look at the reasons for performing such an operation:

You need to get rid of unnecessary images. You want to completely clear the album. Do you want to start filling it out again? There is no important information in it, so you can safely get rid of all the images.

How to get and save the original VKontakte photo

Hello! Not many people remember, but initially the VKontakte site was very limited in hardware resources and uploaded photos went through a long conversion process, which noticeably deteriorated their quality. There was a lot of negativity that VKontakte spoils photos and that uploading full HD photos makes no sense, but times have changed and the VK.COM data center is ready to accept your entire photo album with full preservation of the quality of the images.

Let me make a reservation right away: you can get 100% original images for those images that have been uploaded since 2014. In order to receive and save the original VK photo, you need to first open it:

Open photo VKontakte

Pay attention to the right menu below it. There is a button “Open original”. Click on it. If you are on a computer, the photo will open in a new browser tab. This will be the original image that was uploaded to VKontakte.

The link in the browser address bar should look like – cs7059.vk.me/c7007/v7007548/17c58/MKljIt5ESP8.jpg

Now, in order to save a picture from VK as a file to your hard drive or tablet/phone memory, click on the “save” button or right-click and select “save picture as” from the drop-down menu:

Programs for downloading videos from VK

Programs are often even more convenient than services. They allow you to specify general quality settings for your download, rather than selecting them individually. Some implement a mechanism for simultaneously downloading several videos. Finally, locally installed programs do not suffer from an influx of users to the service.

3.1. Vksaver

Pros:

• designed specifically for working with VK;
• starts automatically when the system starts, displays its icon in the system tray;
• adds convenient functionality for downloading videos.

Minuses:

• suggests changing the browser home page, installing Yandex Browser and the Yandex panel, as well as the browser manager from Yandex;
• currently does not support working over a secure https connection.

It is recommended to close your browsers during installation, as the program needs to configure integration with them. The system may also require installation confirmation, which you must agree to. If you don’t want to change the settings (see cons), then be careful and uncheck all the boxes in the installer.

After installation, VKSaver (at least for now) honestly warns that you will additionally need to change the VKontakte settings and disable the constant use of a secure connection.

In the VK interface, this setting with the checkbox already unchecked looks like this.

It is strongly not recommended to do this without a clear understanding of what you are doing and why you need it. If you don’t want to take risks, it’s better to use another program to download.

The program is simple in operation:

1. Go to the video you want to download.
2. Find the blue icon labeled S. This is the button that VKSaver adds. Click on it.
3. The download information page will open. You can adjust the desired quality. Then click “Download”, select a save location and wait for it to finish.

3.2. VKMusic

Pros:

• simple controls;
• choice of quality;
• flexible settings;
• convenient search;
• can be loaded as a list;
• you can download music, videos and even photos.

There were no downsides other than the traditional trailer with Yandex things. Make sure you uncheck the boxes during installation.

The program works smoothly over HTTPS, downloads quickly and flawlessly - what else do you need? In my opinion, the best remedy at the moment.

When launched, it displays a window with links to training materials. It is very convenient for beginners, and even an experienced user can find out some details. If you check the box, the next time you turn it on, the window will no longer appear.

Here's how to use the program:

1. Go to the page of the video you want to download and copy the link to it from the address bar. Now in the main VKMusic window, click on the “Add” button. A list will open in which you can add video addresses. Paste the copied address into it.

Life hack: feel free to copy and paste several addresses in a row. The program supports downloading many files at once, so there will be no problems with this.

3. The next step will require you to specify the quality in which you want to save the file. You can click “Select the best” so as not to think about the choice. True, the higher the quality, the longer the download will take.

4. The program will ask where to put the download results. Specify the desired folder and click the “Accept” button.

5. Wait for the download to complete. That's it, you can enjoy watching videos without going to the site.

I’ll add a few words about the program’s features. Firstly, this is a gorgeous menu. If you open the VKontakte item, you can see a selection of popular places. Very comfortably.

Secondly, the ability to configure various parameters, from folders for files to the choice of formats and hot keys (in case you need to download a hundred or two videos). You can also change authorization there if the videos are in the personal files of different VK users.

Let me summarize: in the category of how to download videos from Vkontakte to a computer, the VKMusic program is the best that is now on the Internet.

How to transfer photos from album to album

You cannot transfer images from albums:

• Photos on my wall
• Photos from my page
• Photos with me

There are no restrictions for others. Open a photo, click More. Select Transfer to album, specify which one.

VK transfers one image at a time, but what if there are 10, 20, 300 of them? Special VKontakte applications come to the rescue, one of them is Photo Transfer vk.com/app3231070.

A nice bonus: the application works with pictures from Photos on my wall, upload and transfer any drawings there. If you search, you will find photo applications for transferring to contacts from Instagram.

If your iPhone won't save photos to your Camera Roll

If after taking a photo you don't find it in your Camera Roll, follow these steps:

1. Restart your iPhone.
2. From your home screen, launch the Camera app.
3. Select Photo mode and take a photo.
4. Expand the created photo by tapping on the icon that will appear in the lower left corner.
5. Click on the "Share" button. It is located at the bottom left, in the same place where the icon was previously located.
6. Send a photo to any contact via iMessage.
7. Restart your iPhone again.

After turning on the device, the problem with saving photos will be resolved. If you're lucky, you'll find pictures in your Camera Roll that were taken previously but not saved.

If your iPhone is jailbroken, you can use another method. Before using it, be sure to back up your device to avoid losing data. Then launch Cydia and install Mobile Terminal.

Execute a series of commands in sequence:

• Su
• Alpine
• chmod 775 /var/mobile/Media/DCIM/*
• chown mobile:mobile /var/mobile/Media/DCIM/
• -reboot-

After restarting the device, the problem of iPhone not saving photos from the Internet or photos taken should be resolved. If your smartphone is not jailbroken, you can reset your settings and content by first backing up your files.

Posting images to a group

Surely, many of our users also have a question about how to add a photo to a VK group if it opens the possibility of publications for all users or members of this community. It's actually very simple. Here's how you can add a photo to a group page in VKontakte:
