How To Edit Photos On Facebook Before Posting

If you want to post the photo quickly, but you aren’t satisfied with the quality of the photo, just follow these instructions:

• Sign into Facebook.
• Click on the images icon next to the “What's on your mind?” box at the top of the screen. Add a photo by clicking on the camera icon or choosing the photo from your photos gallery.
• Before you post a new photo, Facebook will offer a quick edit by choosing a filter or effect. If you don't feel like using it, tap the X sign.
• Once you close the popup effects and filters window, you will see the Edit and Effects option at the upper left of your photo.

• Click on the Edit option, and it will open the built-in photo editor. The interface is organized with tabs, and switching between them will give you access to the various tools.
• “Filters” – to use an image from one of the automatic art filters. There are no fine manual settings; this function doesn’t exist.

• “Tag” – select friends to tag in the photo.
• “Crop” – crop the image. You can select a square or a rectangular shape of any size. There is also a rotating button.
• “Text” – add your text to the image. The text's size, color, and location can be easily adjusted with the mouse button. You can select one of the five fonts offered.
• “Stickers” – opens a panel with dozens of stickers, which can extend the range of the built-in catalog of stickers. You can add any of them to the photo; adjust the size and location to your preference.

Of course, this Facebook feature is not comparable to the abilities of a professional photo editor. However, it offers you a simple way to edit and share photos quickly. For most users, the capacity of this editor is sufficient.
