At the moment, it is only possible to add figures to some publication types on ResearchGate, such as articles, conference papers, and theses.

**Here's how you add figures to a publication page that doesn't have figures yet:**

1. Go to the publication page you want to add figures to
2. Click **More** on the right side of the page and click **Add figures** from the drop-down menu
3. Click **Upload figures** and select the file you would like to add (we accept \***.jpg**, \*.**gif**, \*.**png**, \*.**tiff**, and \*.**bmp** formats)
4. Add a caption with a short explanation of the figure you just added, then click **Done**
5. If you wish to add more figures, simply click **Upload Figures** in the top left-hand corner of the page
6. Once you are done adding figures, simply click the **X** icon in the top right-hand corner of your screen.

**If your publication already has figures added and you would like to add more:**

1. Go to the publication page you want to add figures to
2. Either click on any existing figure or click **More** on the right side of the page and click **Edit figures** from the drop-down menu
3. Click **Upload figures** and select the file you would like to add (we accept \***.jpg**, \*.**gif**, \*.**png**, \*.**tiff**, and \*.**bmp** formats)
4. Add a caption with a short explanation of the figure you just added, then click **Done**
5. If you wish to add more figures, simply click **Upload Figures** in the top left-hand corner of the page
6. Once you are done adding figures, simply click the **X** icon in the top right-hand corner of your screen.

**Note:** You must always ensure that you have the right to publicly share any figures before doing so.
