Block Pictures on Facebook

Facebook allows you to share various content with friends and strangers alike. If you do not feel comfortable sharing certain information, Facebook offers users the ability to customize privacy settings for each aspect of your profile. These settings allow you to block specific users or groups of people, or even specify only certain individuals who you want to have access to information. These settings are not permanent and may be altered as often as desired.


Access your Facebook account and view the photo album for which you wish to change the privacy settings. In this view, the page should have the album's title at the top left corner, along with your name, the date the album was created and an "Edit Album" option.

Select "Edit Album" from the link next to the date of the album's creation. This will open a small window that allows you to edit the album's name, description and privacy settings.

Click on the pull down "Privacy" menu and select the desired option. This allows you to display the contents of that specific album to "Everyone," "Friends of Friends," "Friends Only" or customize who may see it. If you choose customize, you may block specific users from seeing your album's photos, or select exactly who has permission to view them.

Click "Save" to apply your new privacy settings to your Facebook account.

Repeat step 3 for additional albums that you wish to edit the privacy settings for.
