Lately I’ve been getting the same question over and over:
How do you get your photos or graphics from your computer to your phone to upload them on Instagram?
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.
3. Viraltag*. The other week I boasted all about Viraltag being my new favorite social media management tool and this is another reason why: I can edit and save photos from my computer or phone to it. I write the caption on my laptop, and share it to Instagram after getting a nice reminder to post at the “scheduled” time and copies the caption for me. Personally, I hate trying to type the caption on my phone for Instagram. This is a nice triple threat in that I can easily get the image to my phone, I can type the caption on my computer, and I can schedule it!
