Upload photos to Instagram from Chrome

Il trick to upload photos to instagram from computer is based on exploiting the web development options of browsers to "cheat" the page of Instagram. In this way, the system believes that the page is being viewed on a mobile device, so the active tools for uploading photos are available in the mobile version of the popular photo social networking site.

  • Then press the key combination CTRL + Shift + i or access it from Settings> More tools> Developer tools.
  • This will activate the browser development options, with which you can adapt the format of the Instagram page to make you believe that you are viewing it via a mobile device.
  • In the upper left corner of the Chrome developer options, click the Toggle Device Toolbar device tool icon or press the key combination Ctrl + Shift + M. This will activate the options to choose the type of device you want to choose to emulate the screen display.
  • Now, at the top of the page, the list of available devices is displayed, choose one of the smartphones that appear in the list. Then, press the F5 key to view, the browser is updated and so you see Instagram just as you see it on your mobile device.
  • Once done, now you just have to click on the icon in the center + and look for the photo you want to upload to your computer. The rest of the steps to post a photo on Instagram from your PC are exactly the same as when you do it from the mobile app.
