Adding a photo to a Facebook comment can significantly enhance your interaction and expressiveness online. Whether you want to share a reaction, provide visual context, or simply add some fun to the conversation, Facebook makes it easy to include images in your comments. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to add photos to your Facebook comments on desktop and mobile devices.
Adding a Photo Comment on Desktop
If you’re using Facebook on your computer, the process is straightforward and quick using your web browser. Here’s how:
-
Navigate to the Comment Section: Find the post you want to comment on within your Facebook News Feed or on a profile. Below the post, locate and click the Comment button. This will open the comment text box where you can type your message.

-
Access the Photo Upload Option: Look for the camera icon located at the bottom-right corner of the comment text box. This icon is your gateway to adding photos or videos to your comment. Click on the camera icon to proceed.

-
Choose Your Image: A file explorer window will pop up, allowing you to browse your computer’s files. Select the image you wish to include in your comment. Facebook supports common image formats like JPG, PNG, and GIF. You can also select a video file if you prefer to add a video comment. Once you’ve selected your file, click Open to upload it.

-
Post Your Comment: After the image has uploaded (you’ll see a preview in your comment box), you can add text to your comment if desired. Finally, click the Post button, just as you would for any text-based comment. Your comment, now with the embedded photo, will be visible to everyone who can see the post.

Adding a Photo Comment Using the Facebook Mobile App
For users on the go, the Facebook mobile app (available for both Android and iOS) offers a similarly seamless experience for adding photo comments. Here’s how to do it on your smartphone:
-
Open the Comment Section: In the Facebook app, navigate to the post you want to engage with and tap the Comment option below the post. This will activate the comment field and bring up your mobile keyboard.
-
Find the Camera Icon: Look for the camera icon typically located to the side of the comment text input area in the app. Tap this icon to initiate the process of adding a photo.
-
Select Your Photo: Tapping the camera icon will usually open your phone’s photo gallery or camera roll. Browse through your photos and select the picture you want to use in your comment. Depending on your phone and app version, you might need to tap Done or a similar confirmation button after selecting your photo.
-
Post Your Photo Comment: Once you’ve selected your image, it will be attached to your comment. You can add accompanying text if you wish. Finally, tap the Post or Send button (the wording may vary depending on your device and app version) to publish your comment with the photo.

Adding a Photo Comment on the Mobile Facebook Website
If you are accessing Facebook through a mobile browser instead of the app, you can still easily add photo comments. The steps are very similar to using the app:
-
Go to the Comment Section: On the mobile website, tap on Comment under the post you want to respond to. This will open the comment text field.
-
Tap the Camera Icon: Locate and tap the camera icon near the comment input field. This will give you options to choose your photo source.
-
Choose Photo Source and Select Image: You will likely be presented with options like Take Photo (to use your camera to take a new picture) or Photo Library (to choose an existing photo from your phone). Select your preferred option and then choose the image you wish to add to your comment.
-
Post Your Comment: After selecting your photo, it will be ready to be added to your comment. Tap Post to finalize and publish your comment with the image.
Adding a photo to a Facebook comment is a simple yet powerful way to communicate visually and make your interactions more engaging. Whether you’re on a desktop, mobile app, or mobile website, Facebook provides a consistent and user-friendly way to enhance your comments with images.
