How to Upload Photos from PC to Instagram

-

Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms for sharing photos and videos with your friends and followers. However, if you want to upload photos from your PC to Instagram, you might encounter some difficulties. Unlike the mobile app, the web version of Instagram does not have a direct option to upload photos from your PC. Fortunately, there are some workarounds that can help you post photos from your PC to Instagram without using any third-party software. In this blog post, I will show you two methods to upload photos from your PC to Instagram using your browser.

 

Method 1: Use the Developer Tools in Chrome or Firefox

One of the easiest ways to upload photos from your PC to Instagram is to use the developer tools in Chrome or Firefox browsers. These tools allow you to simulate the mobile version of Instagram on your PC and access the upload option. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Open Chrome or Firefox browser on your PC and go to https://www.instagram.com/.
  2. Log in to your Instagram account if you haven't already.
  3. Right-click anywhere on the web page and select Inspect (in Chrome) or Inspect Element (in Firefox) from the menu. This will open the developer tools panel on the right side of the browser window.
  4. Click on the Toggle Device Toolbar icon (in Chrome) or Responsive Design Mode icon (in Firefox) at the top left corner of the developer tools panel. This will switch the browser view to a mobile device mode.
  5. Select a mobile device model from the drop-down menu at the top of the browser window. You can choose any device that suits your preference, such as iPhone, iPad, Pixel, etc.
  6. Refresh the web page by pressing F5 or clicking on the Reload icon at the top left corner of the browser window. You should now see the mobile version of Instagram on your PC.
  7. Click on the + icon at the bottom center of the screen. If you cannot see a + icon, then click on any icon, then click <- to return to the previous page, you should now see the + icon at the top on the right hand side. 
  8. Select a photo from your PC and click on Open. You can also drag and drop a photo from your PC to the browser window.
  9. Edit your photo as you wish by applying filters, cropping, rotating, etc. and click on Next.
  10. Add a caption, hashtags, location, etc. and click on Share. Your photo will be uploaded from your PC to Instagram.

 


Method 2: Use User Agent Switcher Extension in Chrome or Firefox

Another way to upload photos from your PC to Instagram is to use a user agent switcher extension in Chrome or Firefox browsers. A user agent is a string that identifies your browser and device to a website. By changing your user agent, you can trick Instagram into thinking that you are using a mobile device and access the upload option. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Open Chrome or Firefox browser on your PC and install a user agent switcher extension from the web store. For example, you can use User-Agent Switcher for Chrome or User-Agent Switcher and Manager for Firefox.
  2. After installing the extension, click on its icon at the top right corner of the browser window and select a mobile device user agent from the list. For example, you can choose iOS Safari or Android Chrome.
  3. Go to https://www.instagram.com/ and log in to your Instagram account if you haven't already.
  4. Click on the + icon at the bottom center of the screen. This will open a file explorer window where you can choose a photo from your PC to upload.
  5. Select a photo from your PC and click on Open. You can also drag and drop a photo from your PC to the browser window.
  6. Edit your photo as you wish by applying filters, cropping, rotating, etc. and click on Next.
  7. Add a caption, hashtags, location, etc. and click on Share. Your photo will be uploaded from your PC to Instagram.

Note: Remember to switch back to your original user agent after uploading photos from your PC to Instagram, otherwise some websites may not function properly.

IWEB trading platform, service review

Image
I had a frustrating experience today with my UK trading platform, IWEB. Upon logging in this morning, I was startled to see a message that my account was restricted and to call a provided number. I was perplexed about what could have triggered this. I called customer service, who speculated that an expired debit card on file may be the issue. After updating my details, I was told access would resume shortly. However, I remained unable to access my account the entire day, which was aggravating. While I understand technical problems occur, clearer communication and urgency from IWEB would have been appreciated in resolving this issue faster. IWEB is one of the ISA providers and shares dealing platforms in the UK, part of Lloyds Banking Group. I have been with them for several years. Customer service is usually friendly, and there is a web-chat service which I like. They offer the most competitive 'cost per trade' without a minimum number of trades per month (that I know of), and

    For all the young gamer out there Lately, after completing my professional qualification, I’ve had more time to pursue my hobbies and gaming has been one of my favorites. I find it both stimulating and relaxing to experience different worlds and challenges. I also believe that gaming in moderation has some real-life benefits. For example, it can teach problem-solving skills, teamwork, and creativity. These are all skills that can be applied to other areas of life, such as work and school.
