Ways to upload pictures to Instagram from a desktop internet browser

Most web browsers have a way of allowing you change the "User Agent"-- the thing that informs an internet site what type of gadget you get on. So, also when you're on a laptop computer or desktop computer, you can fool a website like Instagram right into revealing you the mobile site. That's what we're going to do.

Safari

On Safari, it's easy. Go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced. Check package at the very bottom that states, "Show Develop menu in menu bar"

Currently open a private searching window. Head to Develop > User Agent > Safari - iOS 10 - iPhone. Most likely to Instagram.com, log in and click the camera switch at the bottom of the display to upload a picture from your desktop.

Chrome

In Chrome, most likely to Instagram.com and also log in. Now right-click the page > Inspect > click the Tablet icon (top-left). The web page should change to mobile view, where you'll find a camera button below the screen, which allows you upload an image from your desktop computer.

Several Instagrammers-- myself included-- fire pictures on a dSLR camera as well as edit them on their computer system prior to publishing to Instagram. That suggests needing to transfer the ended up picture to a phone (via AirDrop or email), which is cumbersome, at ideal.

This workaround cuts that step out, making dSLR uploads less complicated than ever.
