How To Upload Pictures To Instagram From A Computer
The best ways to publish images to Instagram from a desktop computer web browser
The majority of internet browsers have a means of allowing you alter the "User Representative"-- things that tells a site what kind of tool you're on. So, also when you're on a laptop or desktop, you can trick a site like Instagram right into revealing you the mobile site. That's just what we're going to do.
Safari
On Safari, it's simple. Go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced. Check the box at the really lower that states, "Show Develop menu in menu bar"
Currently open a private browsing home window. Head to Develop > User Agent > Safari - iOS 10 - iPhone. Go to Instagram.com, log in and also click the camera button at the bottom of the display to post a photo from your desktop.
Chrome
In Chrome, go to Instagram.com and also log in. Now right-click the page > Inspect > click the Tablet icon (top-left). The page must change to mobile view, where you'll locate a camera button at the end of the display, which allows you post an image from your desktop computer.
Many Instagrammers-- myself included-- shoot images on a dSLR electronic camera and edit them on their computer system prior to publishing to Instagram. That suggests having to move the completed photo to a phone (via AirDrop or e-mail), which is difficult, at best.
This workaround cuts that march, making dSLR uploads less complicated than ever.
