You can use a web browser, Bluestacks, Flume, or Instagram&#8217;s desktop version. It&#8217;s not as difficult as you think. It just takes a little practice and patience. Hopefully, by the end of this article, you&#8217;ll be able to post a picture on Instagram from your laptop!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_browser\"><\/span>Using a browser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to post a picture on Instagram, you must be using a mobile app, such as an iPhone or Android phone. A browser can be tricked into thinking it&#8217;s a mobile device by spoofing its user agent string. The user agent string tells websites which kind of browser and operating system you&#8217;re using, so it can serve you a version of its site that matches the layout of your device. You can use this trick in a couple of ways.<\/p>\n<p>First, if you&#8217;d rather not use the Instagram app on your mobile device, you can install the Instagram app on your desktop. This way, you can edit and post pictures without having to use a mobile device. Next, open the Instagram app and tap the three dots to access the settings menu. If you want to post a video, you can do that too. Alternatively, you can use the browser option to post videos to Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Bluestacks\"><\/span>Using Bluestacks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to post a picture to Instagram from your laptop, you&#8217;ll need to use a virtual mobile device called Bluestacks. Once you&#8217;ve installed Bluestacks on your laptop, you can sign into Instagram with your Google account. To begin, open Google Play Store. Once you&#8217;ve signed in, the Google Play Store will load. Install the Instagram app and launch it.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve installed BlueStacks, you can launch the Instagram app and manage your account. From here, drag your photos or videos to the application, where you can add filters and edit them. Once you&#8217;re finished, you can add a caption and tag friends. And of course, you&#8217;ll be able to post up to 100 photos per day using this method!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Flume\"><\/span>Using Flume<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using Flume to post a picture or video on Instagram from my laptop has many advantages, but there is one major disadvantage: you can&#8217;t repost pictures or videos. But you can do it very quickly using Flume. It allows you to easily choose whether you want your post to be a sponsored one or not. Using Flume, you can also select whether you want to skip sponsored posts, and it even supports multiple accounts.<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to download Flume to your Mac. Then, install the app. After installation, you can upload a photo or video to Instagram using Flume. Make sure you have your Instagram account&#8217;s login credentials ready, because you need them to login with Flume. Once you&#8217;ve done that, you can click &#8216;post&#8217; to get the photo or video posted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Instagrams_desktop_version\"><\/span>Using Instagram&#8217;s desktop version<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to post a picture on Instagram without an internet connection. If you&#8217;d like to post a picture to Instagram from your Mac or PC, you can download the desktop version and follow the instructions. Once you&#8217;ve installed the app, you can go into your Media Manager and upload your photos. You can also crop, rotate, and use filters as you would on an iPhone or Android device.<\/p>\n<p>Using Instagram&#8217;s desktop version to post on Instagram is a great way to share your pictures with family and friends. The only disadvantage is that it doesn&#8217;t support live video or stories, and the app isn&#8217;t optimized for tablets. Using Instagram&#8217;s desktop version is a great alternative to using the iPhone or Android app. Just remember to change your browser&#8217;s user agent and click on &#8220;developer tools&#8221; to ensure you&#8217;re using the latest version of the app.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"250\" width=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-BhJgvhd01E\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Post a Picture on Instagram From My Laptop?
