This wikiHow teaches you how to upload photos from your computer or phone to popular social media and image-sharing sites. These include image-sharing services Flickr and Imgur, social media services Facebook and Instagram, and cloud storage services Google Drive and iCloud.

1. 1

   Open the site or app that you want to use. In order to upload an image to the Internet, you must first open a website or an app that supports photo uploads. Image-hosting sites, social media, and cloud storage sites will all support this function.

   • If you have to be signed into an account in order to post, make sure that you're signed in before continuing.
   • If you've never used the service before, you might have to make an account before continuing.

2. 2

   Find the "Upload" section. This will vary greatly from place to place, but most sites/apps will allow you to upload from the main page.
