how do I upload images to instagram?

Javier Algarra

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!
