If you are using Instagram, you probably already know that the app is quite restrictive.
You can’t post images from your PC and Instagram “force” you to post your picture through your Smartphone.
It can be annoying if you want to post a photograph taken from your Reflex or Digital Camera.
For example, imagine you are a photographer and you want to retouch your picture via Photoshop and post it to your Instagram account.
I guess a lot of people will re-upload their photos to their smartphones to finally post their work on their Instagram.
But it takes a lot of time to do it…
In this article, I’m going to show you how to post on Instagram from a PC or Mac.
It’s possible to post your photo via your browser Chrome, Firefox or else.
But you have to change your “browser mode” and make Instagram think that you are on a smartphone.
With Chrome:
Voilà!
For Firefox, it’s pretty the same thing.
Once you are logged on your Instagram. On the top menu of your browser, go to Tools > Web Developer > Toggle Tools.
You will see a Device Icon on the bottom-left.
Do the same process as described above and you should be able to post your images to Instagram from Firefox.
There are other methods to upload your photos on Instagram with your desktop computer.
You can use apps like Flume or Uplet (Mac).
Or even emulate a smartphone via some software like Nox Player, Bluestacks.
But I think that the simplest way to do it still the browser method ;).
