Ways to post images to Instagram from a desktop browser
A lot of internet browsers have a means of letting you change the "User Agent"-- the thing that tells an internet site what type of tool you're on. So, even when you're on a laptop or desktop, you could trick a website like Instagram right into showing you the mobile website. That's just what we're going to do.
Safari
On Safari, it's simple. Go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced. Check the box at the very bottom that says, "Show Develop menu in menu bar"
Currently open up a personal surfing window. Go to Develop > User Agent > Safari - iOS 10 - iPhone. Most likely to Instagram.com, sign in and also click the camera button at the end of the display to post an image from your desktop.
Chrome
In Chrome, most likely to Instagram.com and sign in. Currently right-click the page > Inspect > click the Tablet symbol (top-left). The web page should switch over to mobile view, where you'll discover a camera button below the screen, which lets you upload a photo from your desktop computer.
Several Instagrammers-- myself consisted of-- shoot photos on a dSLR camera as well as edit them on their computer system prior to uploading to Instagram. That suggests needing to move the ended up photo to a phone (through AirDrop or email), which is cumbersome, at finest.
This workaround cuts that march, making dSLR uploads much easier than ever before.
