Instagram is an ideal photo sharing app for quickly posting photos and videos when you're on the go, but the trend has shifted toward more professionally edited content. In many cases, it's easier to upload and edit photos or video footage on a desktop computer. (And remember: You can now send out live videos on Instagram.)
If you regularly upload and/or edit photos or videos using a PC or Mac computer, sending the finished version to a mobile device so you can post it via the Instagram app can be a bit of an inconvenience. On Instagram via the web, there is currently no option that lets users post photos or videos.
As a result, a few third-party desktop tools and applications have become available that can connect to your Instagram account and let you upload photos and videosright from a regular computer. The variety of tools is somewhat limited mainly because Instagram doesn't allow uploading via its API, but you can check out some of these tools in the list below to see if any solution works best for you.
