Instagram discourages loading from a pc. Chrome is a third party app and in this instance you aren't really using IG to load a pic.

[@angelbear_og]

They don't. They expect you to install their app on your mobile device.

[@AlejandroSifuentes]

Dude this video is worth millions!! haha Thank you!

[@angc1456]

how do you tag people with insta and pc/laptop

[@jupiter8037]

This was EXTREMELY helpful and 100% working, thank you! 1) Go to the three gray dots on the top right corner of the screen and go to "settings" --> "more tools" --> "develop tools" 2) On the top left corner of the new screen, toggle on the device toolbar which looks like a phone in front of a tablet 3) Reload the page and VOILA! :) But srsly tho, why not let users post from pcs?

[@DonKreuter]

Thank you for showing me exactly how to make an Instagram photo post from my Apple MacBook Pro computer. I have been trying for over a month to learn out how to make photography posts from my computer. I agree I would rather post photos from my computer where I have more control of my images. As a professional nature and wildlife photographer, it seemed that I was just being lazy by not figuring out how to post photos from my computer. I asked many people and nobody knew how to make Instagram computer photo posts. My Google Searches turned up hours of KZbin videos without a simple explanation. Thank you so much for the best, short, easy, simple video that explained exactly how to post photos to Instagram from my computer! Also thank you for the detailed instructions in the video description to make it even easier! I subscribed to your KZbin channel, clicked the bell, and now know where to get the best Instagram information! You Are Awesome!

[@richardd2338]

How to post multiple pics at a time?? All i can post is a single picture through chrome!

ikr. But better than none :(

[@jaemincityyy4715]

maybe u can crop all the pic to 1 pic

[@investadeck6050]

You have no idea how much time and frustration this has saved me. Usually I would have to take our my SD Card from my camera plug in my card reader import the photos sort through and pick the best ones edit them then export them then send them back to a micro SD that I would insert into my phone..... Life is good :)

[@bertjones3010]

Using opera, go to Instagram page, right click on page, use Inspect Element to get to the window where you can choose the mobile app (You don't even have to have a mobile app!) and it will allow you to publish from your computer. By the way, this is the best video I found for explaining this concept - gets my vote for sure.

[@Deathweaver]

You sir are a LEGEND! Thank you so much

it works , For Firefox -> go to developer tools -> select toggle tools -> then select mobile veiw button -> select device as samsung Galaxy at the top left corner -> refresh :)

[@cmartens61]

The problem with this "fix" is that it posts to your "story" - I don't want my photos in my story, but in my gallery!

[@rutatutut]

This is incredible. Thanks so much! I've decided to delete the app from my iPhone b/c it's such a time suck. Too easy to endlessly scroll on the toilet, at a red light, or at the park. FB/Instagram maliciously makes the browser version crippled to get us addicted to the phone (where they know engagement is longer). Now I can post from my PC. You are a champ!!

[@morpheusxnyc]

@@bludoll Worked for me just now. Log into IG, right click on page, choose Inspect. In the menu at the top, it'll say "Responsive".

Is anybody else getting quality loss in their image when uploading like this instead of via the phone?

Yeah, happened to me. Viewed my computer video and it was 1080p. Sent it to my phone and it was 480p. After uploading it went all the way down to 144p. Don't know how to fix though

[@TelgonicBrute2]

​I was able to circumvent this by not resizing my image. It turns out the little black resize button during the upload process has a glitch where it drops the quality significantly for web uploads right now.
