 Instagram tip: How do you get your photos or graphics from your computer to your phone to upload them on Instagram? There are a lot of ways to get your photo from your computer to Instagram! Something to keep in mind, is ideally you wouldn't email it to yourself since you will lose some resolution this way and your photo could end up looking grainy. Keep in mind that each of these require a few steps, nothing will magically zap a photo to your Instagram (even apps that say they are integrated with Instagram and will "post to Instagram for you" still require you to go in and copy and push a button to get it onto Instagram at the time you want to post it due to Instagram's policies.) - The Confused Millennial

How do you get your photos or graphics from your computer to your phone to upload them on Instagram?

… Lately I've been getting that  same question over and over.

So today I wanted to share this Instagram tip with you. There are a lot of ways to get your photo from your computer to Instagram! Don't email it to yourself since you will lose some resolution and your photo could end up looking grainy.

At this time, nothing will magically zap a photo to your Instagram directly. Many apps claiming to  “post to Instagram for you” require you to go in and push a button to get it onto Instagram at the time you want to post it due to Instagram's policies. These options do require a couple of steps:

So how can you get your photos from your computer to Instagram?

1. Dropbox. This is great because you upload the photo to dropbox, then it's always backed up, and if you have the Dropbox app on your phone it will automatically just be waiting there for you to share on Instagram.

2. Text it/airdrop for mac users. I have a Mac, so sometimes I will just drag and drop a photo to my iMessage and send it to myself or use the airdrop feature. It's quick and easy and doesn't require you to download another app on your phone.

There are LOADS of other ways to go about getting a photo from your computer to your phone. Some include, Gramblr, Instapic, Later, Canva, and many more!
