Even though Instagram still doesn’t let users post photos from a computer, several apps exist that not only attempt to duplicate Instagram’s filters, but add others into the mix.
. Just type Ctrl-Shift-I to bring up the Chrome developer window (you can safely ignore all of the intimidating code inside) and then Ctrl-Shift-M to switch to the mobile version of the site. You may then need to resize the windows a little so you can see the Instagram page clearly. To go back to the desktop site, press Ctrl-Shift-I again to turn off developer mode, which automatically disables device mode at the same time.Click the icon which looks like a phone and a tablet, circled in red, to switch to mobile mode.

On other browsers, such as Safari, Firefox or Microsoft Edge, you will need to manually change the user agent setting in your browser.
The user agent string, sent by your browser on each web page request, identifies the type of browser and operating system you’re using so the website can tailor its pages to work well on your device. By changing this setting, you can trick Instagram into thinking you are connecting from a mobile device. This will result in the mobile version of the page being sent back to you, complete with the new image upload function.
Another easy method is to install an extension such as User-Agent Switcher for Chrome which will allow you to change the user agent setting at will. Similar add-ons are available for other browsers, such as this one for Firefox. Safari users can change their user agent setting by enabling the Develop menu and then selecting the User Agent option.
