If you often happen to edit pictures and posts on Instagram first on your computer using, for example, Photoshop and the like, then you have come to the situation that you have to send that picture to your phone via email, a dropbox, and the like to post it on Instagram. Maybe there is another case in question, such as you want to put a slightly larger text in the post and a dozen hashtags, so you are very uncomfortable typing it on the phone, where it is not easy to edit the text itself if an error or if the smartphone changes some words by itself. If this bothers and annoys you and you do not want to send posts from your phone, you can also post them from your computer. How you can see below the tutorial.
How do I post a picture, story, or video to my computer?
First of all, there are several ways, and in this tutorial, I will concentrate on one very easy one without additional programs and applications. Otherwise, the ways to post something on Instagram from your computer are as follows:
Modern web browser
Android emulators (Bluestack, Droid4x, Memu, Memu recommendation)
Web applications for Social Media Management Tools (applications where you add accounts to multiple social networks)
The second
Before I move on to the classic tutorial, Android emulators are very demanding and should be avoided for this type of work. If the computer is a little weaker this is an almost impossible option. By the way, the mentioned emulators can be good for some things for which there is no alternative, such as some maybe Android games that are intended for phone or tablet, but people prefer to play via computer, so emulators are the only solution for such purposes.
How to manage multiple social accounts from one place?
As for the applications for Social Media Management Tools, there are quite a number of them, but mostly those that are worthwhile and work well are not free and are paid monthly, which is probably not profitable for the average user or someone mediocre. For agencies and people who manage multiple profiles and pages and who deal with it professionally, this is an irreplaceable thing. I will list some good ones here, and you can see the conditions for use yourself.
Buffer
Hootsuite
Sprout Social
Iconosquare
The second
You can see the conditions and prices on the link itself, and now there is a tutorial on how to post pictures on Instagram for free via a computer.
Add a picture, story, and video for free via PC
First, I'm writing instructions for current versions of Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers. I guess other modern browsers have that option too but I don’t use them. When I say current, it does not mean that newer versions will not have that option, but that maybe some older versions do not have that option.
1.Open Firefox or Google Chrome and go to Instagram
2.Log in with the desired account. In this tutorial, I use a Netbitlab account
Scrolling to the bottom will not give you the option to make a new post because of that
3. Press CTRL + SHIFT + M on the keypad (display the station on the mobile phone)
4. Make sure you have one of the phones, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and the like in the corner above. IMPORTANT Do not place the iPad, only the iPhone
5. Since there are still no options for adding content on Instagram via PC, reload the page or F5 on the keyboard
6. You should now see the options, Home, Search, Add, Like, and Profile at the bottom. Click +
7. Make a post of your choice and click on the share (post, share, as already in the local language)
You have successfully added your post, which may contain an image, text, hashtags, some mentions and tags, location, and more.
If you need it for business purposes and you want to make posts on multiple accounts and media, use either web applications or professional social networking service.
