Grammar

Probably

Probably recognize her with a picture. Or

Probably recognize a picture of her. Or

Probably recognize her if you see her picture.

Do they all have the same meaning and are interchangeable and grammatical?

Thanks.

I have a feeling that the subject is missing in all of those sentences. So no, I don't think they are grammatical. Maybe you're trying to say something along these lines: You will probably recognize her if you see a picture of her.

How about:

You will probably recognize her if you see her picture.

"a picture of her" is unambiguous as it clearly means "a picture with her in it" so I would go with that one if that's the meaning you want.
