how do I upload images to instagram?

tombarrettillo

I just use my phone or my daughter's iPod (for the better camera). If I am posting a digital image like a scan or an illo I did in Photoshop, I email it to my Yahoo account, download it to my phone, then post from my phone

Actually you can upload images to Instagram from your computer using the Windows 10 app. I've done it before, though I prefer uploading them to Google Drive and using my phone/tablet.

@dottyp I've not tried to post from a computer, but there do seem to be possible workarounds that might allow you to do so:

I tried to post a screengrab below but got a privilege error for some reason, so I put the screengrab in a post on my blog for you:

As I said, I didn't post, but clicking the camera does open a window for me to choose something to upload, so I'm supposing it works. Just not sure if you can add descriptions, tags, etc...

(Also, do a Google search on "post to instagram from pc")

When you follow the link @QuietYell posted, its possible, I have used it and it works fine.

@quietyell I have problems uploading images on the forum aswell

@leontine What size image are you trying to upload? Also which icon are you clicking on "Upload Image" or "Upload File"

Leontine

@chip-valecek Really small 73KB. JPG neither PNG. I get a note that 'I don't have permission'. Normally I never have problems uploading files on this forum.

I upload my images through "Gramlr"
just google Gramblr you'll find a link to download it.
Once downloaded, sign in with your insta account, and you are ready to go.

@quietyell I think I have got it working Thanks so much for the information the whole thing had me baffled.

DOTTYP

@doha Thanks Doha I think I got it working with quiet yells trick ,but thanks anyway.

QuietYell

@dottyp That's awesome! So glad you can post from your computer with this way. It's a lot cheaper than buying a phone/tablet just to do it!

DOTTYP

@quietyell Thanks I should be getting some stuff posted soon.

@quietyell fantastic! I didnt know this, since I'm a chrome user:

Chrome
In Chrome, go to Instagram.com and sign in. Now right-click the page > Inspect > click the Tablet icon (top-left). The page should switch to mobile view, where you'll find a camera button at the bottom of the screen, which lets you upload a photo from your desktop.

It's that easy? I always put it in a concept mail, then opened it on my ipad and then post. This is so much easier! Thanks!

QuietYell

@dennis-spaans Yes! This was a delightful surprise to me too! Glad it will help you!
