![]() ![]() NOTE: this is actually a super-straightforward two step process, I have included detailed instructions and screenshots because I know some people need those things. What if I told you that you could run the Instagram app natively on your computer, allowing you to view and upload directly from your laptop or desktop, without having to dance the camera-to-computer-to-phone dance? I imagine you would be pretty intrigued. ![]() Exhausting right? And while Wi-Fi is starting to appear more and more on professional and consumer cameras, this still does not allow you to easily upload your final edited photo to your followers. Well fear not photo-friends, the future is here, and while it's not perfect, it's pretty damn nice. This usually looked something like Shoot>Ingest>Edit>Export>Email to yourself/Upload to Dropbox/Take a picture of your screen with your phone>Finally upload to Instagram. ![]() Up until now, we had to go through an annoying multi-step process to get our non-mobile work onto Instagram. A Great, But Imperfect ToolĬasey wrote a great article recently about choosing the best times to post your images to social media, and someone posted in the comments that they wished there was a simple way to upload to Instagram from your computer. Maybe if we're really nice, there might even be an official Instagram desktop app some day? I doubt it though. Such is technology, however, I'm sure there will be new ways that people come up with down the road. It really is a shame because, when it was working, it was hands-down my favorite way to browse and upload to Instagram. I will update this post if any breakthroughs are found, but for now this solution seems to be dead in the water. I am regularly checking in on Google support forums and pertinent subreddits hoping someone will find a solution, but so far no one has been able to make any progress. EDIT: Just a couple of weeks after I wrote this article, and update was pushed out for Arc Welder that not only broke Instagram support, but broke a wide range of other apps that depend on similar graphic rendering resources. ![]()
