# How Many Photos Can You Add to a Facebook Group Post?

How many photos and videos fit in one Facebook group post, what Facebook actually publishes about limits, file formats and sizes, and how to post more as an album.

Quick answer

Facebook doesn’t publish a photo limit for group posts. You can add many photos and videos to one post, and several guides put the ceiling at about 80, which we couldn’t confirm from Facebook. For larger sets, create an album in the group. Facebook recommends MP4 or MOV for video.

Key takeaways

- There is no official photo limit for a Facebook group post. The 'up to 80' you'll read about comes from third-party guides, not from Facebook.
- Photos and videos can go in the same post. The feed shows a collage and a +number when there are more.
- For dozens of photos that belong together, an album in the group's Media section keeps them in one place.
- Facebook recommends MP4 or MOV for video and lists about 30 accepted formats. Its help center gives no size or length cap for ordinary posts.
- Best results: photos at least 1080 px wide, square or 4:5 portrait, JPG or PNG, strongest photo first.

## How many photos can you add to one Facebook group post?

Facebook’s help center doesn’t give a number, for groups or for posts in general. We checked on 14 November 2026. Third-party guides disagree: you’ll find 30, 50 and 80. The figure that comes up most, and the one people search for (“how to add more than 80 photos”), is **80**. Treat it as a practical ceiling people run into, not an official rule.

What you can count on:

- **Many photos in one post works** on a computer and in the app.
- **Photos and videos mix** in the same post.
- **Only the first few show** in the feed. Facebook builds a collage and puts a **+number** on the last tile, so most people see four or five pictures unless they tap.

That last point matters more than the limit. A post with 40 photos isn’t seen as 40 photos; it’s seen as one collage. If every picture matters, an album or a few separate posts work better.

## How to post several photos in a Facebook group on a computer

1. Open the group and click **Write something…**.
2. Click **Photo/video** (the green picture icon).
3. Select several files at once (hold Ctrl on Windows or Cmd on a Mac while you click), or drag them into the box.
4. To add more, click **Add photos/videos** in the post box.
5. Click **Edit all** to change the order, crop or add a caption to each photo.
6. Write your text and click **Post**.

If the group uses post approval, the post shows as pending until an admin approves it; see [what to do when a post is pending](https://multiplegroupposter.com/blog/facebook-group-post-pending-approval/). The full posting walkthrough, with text formatting and tagging, is in our guide on [how to post in a Facebook group](https://multiplegroupposter.com/blog/how-to-post-in-a-facebook-group/).

## How to post photos in a Facebook group from your phone

1. Open the group in the Facebook app and tap the post box.
2. Tap **Photo/video**.
3. Tap several photos and videos to select them. The numbers show the order they’ll appear in.
4. Tap **Done** (or **Next**), add your text and tap **Post**.

On a phone, give the upload time to finish before you leave the app. A big video on mobile data can take minutes, and closing the app early can leave the post stuck.

## Posting more photos: make an album in the group

When the photos belong together (an event, a product range, a room by room tour), an album is cleaner than one huge post:

1. Open the group and go to **Media** (on some groups it’s under **More**).
2. Click **Create album**.
3. Name it, add the photos and videos, and post.

Members can open the album any time from the Media section instead of scrolling back to find an old post. Facebook doesn’t publish a photo limit for group albums either; if an upload stops, add the rest in a second batch.

## Video in a group post: format, size and length

Facebook’s help page on video formats (read 14 November 2026) says it recommends **MP4 or MOV**, and lists about 30 formats it accepts, from AVI and MKV to WMV and GIF.

On size and length, be careful with numbers you see online. Facebook’s help center doesn’t currently list a file size or length limit for videos in ordinary posts. Video spec guides quote **10 GB** and **240 minutes**; we couldn’t find that in Facebook’s own help pages, so treat it as a rough guide, not a rule for groups. In practice:

- Export as **MP4 (H.264)**. It uploads fastest and plays everywhere.
- Keep group videos short. People scroll groups quickly; a 30 to 90 second clip gets watched.
- Upload over Wi-Fi. Most “video won’t upload” problems are the connection, not Facebook.

If you want to share a YouTube video rather than upload one, the link route is different; see [how to share YouTube videos in Facebook groups](https://multiplegroupposter.com/blog/share-youtube-videos-in-facebook-groups/).

## Photo size and shape that looks best

Facebook removed its old help page on photo sizes, so there’s no official pixel number today. What works reliably:

| What | Recommendation |
| --- | --- |
| Width | At least 1080 px; Facebook shrinks bigger photos anyway |
| Shape | Square (1:1) or portrait (4:5) fill more of the feed than landscape |
| Format | JPG for photos, PNG for screenshots and graphics with text |
| Text on images | Keep it short and large; most people see it on a phone |
| First photo | Your strongest one, it leads the collage |

## Can’t add photos to a Facebook group post? 6 causes

1. **It’s a buy and sell group.** Some only accept listings through **Sell something**, not a normal photo post. See [posting one listing in buy and sell groups](https://multiplegroupposter.com/blog/post-in-multiple-buy-and-sell-groups/).
2. **The file format.** iPhone photos are often HEIC. Some computer browsers can’t read them; export as JPG or post from the phone.
3. **The upload timed out.** Big files on a slow connection fail quietly. Try fewer at once or switch to Wi-Fi.
4. **The group is paused** or you’re muted in it. Paused groups accept no new posts at all.
5. **You were restricted.** If Facebook limited your posting, every group is affected; our guide to [being blocked from posting in groups](https://multiplegroupposter.com/blog/blocked-from-posting-in-facebook-groups/) explains what to do.
6. **The browser or app is out of date.** Update the app, or try another browser.

## Posting the same photos in many groups

If you post the same offer to several groups you belong to, two things are worth knowing. Identical photos in many groups look repetitive to the people who are in several of them, and admins notice too. And uploading 10 photos by hand to 30 groups is slow.

[MultiGroupPoster](https://multiplegroupposter.com/facebook-auto-poster/) is a Chrome extension that posts one post with up to **10 photos or videos** to the groups you choose, one group at a time with a pause between them. With **Image sets** you can add several different photo sets, and each post picks one at random, so your groups don’t all get the same pictures.

![MultiGroupPoster Image sets with three photo sets, Shelf, Monstera and Succulents, one picked at random for each post](https://multiplegroupposter.com/images/app/howto/en/image-sets.webp)

Several photo sets for one post: each group gets one set, picked at random.

It runs in your own browser with your own Facebook session, so Chrome has to stay open while it posts, and group rules and Facebook’s limits still apply.

## FAQ

### How many photos can you add to a Facebook group post?

Facebook doesn’t publish a number. One post takes many photos, and several guides put the ceiling at about 80, but we couldn’t confirm that from Facebook. For more, or to keep them together, make an album in the group instead.

### Can I post photos and a video in the same group post?

Yes. Click Photo/video in the group’s post box and select photos and videos together. They show as one post with a collage at the top.

### What size should a photo be for a Facebook group post?

Facebook no longer publishes a recommended size. Photos at least 1080 pixels wide look sharp, and square (1:1) or portrait (4:5) photos take up the most room in the feed. Use JPG or PNG.

### What video format does Facebook accept in groups?

Facebook recommends MP4 or MOV and accepts about 30 formats in total. Its help center doesn’t list a size or length cap for ordinary posts today; guides quote 10 GB and 240 minutes, but that isn’t confirmed by Facebook.

### Why can’t I add photos to a Facebook group post?

The usual causes: a buy and sell group that only takes listings, a paused group, a file format the browser can’t read (such as HEIC on some computers), or a slow upload that times out. Try the app, or convert the photo to JPG.

### How many photos show in the post before people tap?

The feed shows a collage of the first few photos, and when there are more, a +number appears on the last tile. People see every photo only after they tap, so put your best photo first.
