How To Upload Pictures To Instagram From Your Computer
How you can publish photos to Instagram from a desktop web browser
Most browsers have a method of letting you alter the "User Representative"-- the thing that tells a web site what sort of tool you get on. So, also when you get on a laptop or desktop, you can trick a website like Instagram into revealing you the mobile website. That's what we're going to do.
Safari
On Safari, it's simple. Most likely to Safari > Preferences > Advanced. Check the box at the very lower that claims, "Show Develop menu in menu bar"
Currently open a private surfing window. Go to Develop > User Agent > Safari - iOS 10 - iPhone. Go to Instagram.com, sign in and click the camera switch below the display to upload a picture from your desktop.
Chrome
In Chrome, go to Instagram.com and log in. Now right-click the page > Inspect > click the Tablet symbol (top-left). The page must switch to mobile view, where you'll find a camera switch below the display, which lets you publish a picture from your desktop computer.
Many Instagrammers-- myself included-- shoot images on a dSLR video camera and edit them on their computer before uploading to Instagram. That means having to move the ended up photo to a phone (via AirDrop or email), which is cumbersome, at best.
This workaround reduces that march, making dSLR uploads easier than ever before.
