How to draw graffiti in VKontakte using a mouse?
Let us immediately note that drawing with a mouse is quite difficult. However, if you want to draw graffiti on VKontakte yourself, we suggest you use the following trick:
- Make the graffiti window transparent.

- This way you can easily transfer the contours, and the graffiti will look as if it was drawn by hand.
This method is especially suitable for those who do not know how to draw, but still want to paint a masterpiece.

How to draw graffiti on VKontakte using programs?
If you do not have the desire and ability to draw graffiti yourself, then you can use special programs.
This program allows you to add any element to the finished graffiti or select an entire picture and transfer it to a friend’s wall.

You've probably seen animated images in VKontakte comments that start automatically. They are a PNG animation that someone added to their documents and then left a comment with this image. Yes, it's PNG, not GIF. As a result, the picture is not a static image with a link to the animated version, but a full-fledged animation. If you download such an image for yourself, upload it to your VKontakte documents, and then publish it in a comment, the animation will work. If you try to load your animated PNG or GIF image into documents and then publish it in the comments, the animation will not work. Well, let's figure out how to make animated graffiti in VKontakte messages gif png.
All you need is a browser, your VKontakte account and a gif animation from which you want to make animated graffiti. There is no need to download any dubious programs. Just like you don’t need to enter your account information anywhere. You can do everything yourself without using additional tools.
How to create an animated, self-running GIF for VK comments
1. First you need to prepare an animation file. Select the GIF you want to use. Do not use files that are too large in resolution. Such files are obtained big size and may not work correctly. In order for everything to work, a regular GIF animation needs to be converted into an animated PNG image. Please note that the image needs to be converted, and not just change the extension from *.gif to *.png. If you simply change the file extension, VKontakte will detect this and nothing will work. There are quite a few ways to convert an image. You can use any at your discretion. To avoid downloading anything, use one of the online converters. For example, with this:
Choose yours gif image and upload it to the site:
Then click "Convert to APNG!":
Wait for the conversion to finish and download the animated png file. Be careful, it will be below, under the Output APNG image:
Give the file any name using Latin and/or numbers.
The file is ready, now you need to upload it to VKontakte documents in a special way.
2. Go to the VKontakte website and log in to your account. The way you usually do it.
3. Go to the documentation section for VKontakte developers. On at this stage required docs.getMessagesUploadServer. To avoid searching manually, use this link:
Scroll to the bottom of the page and find there "Example request". Fill in the fields as shown in the picture.
In field type enter value graffiti
In field peer_id enter value 1
Version leave without changes, V in this example version 5.92 was used
Click "Run".
Once you have clicked Run, the option to upload the file will appear. Select the *.png file that you converted before:
If the file was converted correctly, the result should look like the image below. Now copy everything that comes after in quotes "file":. The picture is highlighted in gray; the quotes themselves do not need to be copied:
4. Go to the developer documentation section, find docs.save. Or use the link:
Scroll to the bottom of the page and find "Example request". From the fields file, title, tags remove everything that is there. In field file paste the copied text, click "Run":
The result should be similar to what is shown in the picture. There should be no errors.
5.
Now you need to upload the animated *.png file that was made in the first step to your VKontakte documents. Documents are located at https://vk.com/docs
When uploading a file, select the "Other Document" type. Do not rename the file before it is loaded into documents! After downloading, the name can be changed.
6. Right-click on the name of the downloaded file and select “Copy link address.” Paste the link into a comment on any page, group, or community and click “Submit.” You can also send animation in private messages.
The animation only works in a browser on a computer or in full version mobile browser. Such animation will not be played in the VKontakte application. Instead of animation, a static image will be displayed that behaves like a sticker. It cannot be opened full screen or enlarged, you can only view it.
Possible mistakes when creating animated graffiti
If nothing has changed on VKontakte since its publication, and you can’t create animated graffiti, most likely you are doing something wrong. Here are the most common errors that may occur.
If in step 3 while loading the image the following error occurs:
("error":"bad graffiti extension","error_descr":"bad graffiti extension")
( "error" : "bad graffiti extension" , "error_descr" : "bad graffiti extension" ) |
then it means you are using the wrong image. The error occurs if, for example, the image.*gif was not converted to.*png, but the file extension simply changed. This can happen when using some programs and services that rename rather than convert images. Or if you renamed the image yourself without converting it.
If in step 4, when you paste the copied text, you see something like this
"key" : "oauth" ,
"value" : "1"
then most likely the text was copied incompletely or with some errors.
Alternative ways to create animated VK graffiti
- On Github there are source codes of the program for creating and automatic download animated graffiti directly into VKontakte documents. The program is written in python language, you can find it by request Upload png image as a graffiti to VK.COM in a search engine. In order to use it, you need to build the program into an .exe file using PyInstaller. All instructions are there. However, not everyone will find this method easier, and most importantly, faster than the described method.
- There is also an already assembled version of this program on the Internet. To use it, just download it, run it and log in using your account. However, this may not be safe since the author could have put anything into this file. However, the antivirus may not detect anything malicious there. Therefore, use this option only if you 100% trust the author.
- VKontakte application Image to the Graffiti - loads animated graffiti directly into documents. It works intermittently, if you're lucky, everything will work out.
- Bots on telegram. It's difficult to recommend any specific one. There are many of them, but they all work unreliably.

The VK graffiti function appeared back in 2007. It is an opportunity to leave a colorful drawing that you created yourself on your or a friend’s wall. Now, thanks to the updated interface, this service is gaining new momentum and becoming popular again. Previously, it was available only to smartphone owners on Android based and Windows. Now anyone can try out this fun feature.
What is graffiti? Where is it located and what does it look like
So, we have already found out what a message is, you can place it directly on the wall or in a message. In addition, you can decorate a photo with it and send it to the conversation.
For some reason, the developers separated the capabilities of this service for PCs and phones. From your phone you can't place graffiti on a wall without a photo, but you can draw it in a message. And with a PC, on the contrary, the message is only on top of the photo, and freely on the wall.
On the computer
When using the full version of VK, the question may arise - how to send graffiti to VK from a computer. If this is what interests you now, then read on.
How to place on the wall
First, let's figure out how to draw graffiti in VK on a wall:
- Open your VK page.
- If you want to leave such a message on your wall, then click on the line "Anything new", if it’s a friend’s, then go to his page and click on the line "Write something…".
- A menu will appear at the bottom, hover over the “More” inscription.
- Click "Graffiti" in the drop-down menu.
- A window will open in front of you where you can give free rein to your creative imagination. You can change the color of the brush (the palette contains a lot of beautiful colors and their shades), as well as its thickness and intensity (Transparency).
- Once your artistic message is ready, click “Attach” and then “Publish.”
If someone leaves such a picture on your wall, then under it you will see a button “Draw on their wall.” Click on it and you will immediately find yourself in a window for drawing on the wall of this person.
How to send in a message
You can only draw graffiti in VK on a PC in messages over photos. For this:
- Log in to VK.
- Open a conversation with the friend you want to send the drawing to.
- Click on the paper clip symbol that allows you to attach files and select “Photos”.

- Click the picture icon and select the photo you want to complete.
- Expand it and click "Edit", then “Drawing” at the bottom.

How to send in a message
Everything is much simpler here. This function on the phone is well thought out and easy to launch:

- Click on the paperclip symbol in the text entry line.
- A list of photos will open in front of you, and at the top of the block there will be gray widgets for other functions - scroll them to the left until you find the “Graffiti” icon, click on it.
- Click "Draw" and enjoy the process.
The color palette here is not as rich as in the PC version, but it is enough. There are also settings for brush thickness and an eraser function.
Of course, options with pre-loading photos are not graffiti in the direct sense of this service on VK, but the set of tools offered in this case is the same.
