Smartphone users who stumble across this article might wonder why it matters.

With Instagram largely considered to be a mobile device app which is accessed and used on-the-go, you might be wondering why you would need to upload a post from a PC.

But the fact is, sometimes images are easier to edit, and footage is easier to pull together, on a PC.

Not only do you benefit from a larger screen, but the addition of a mouse and keyboard can make posting nice and effortless.

Here’s how to post on Instagram using a PC or laptop.

- Before you get started with creating and sharing a post on your PC, it’s essential to ensure that all the content that you want to post is saved on the device you’re using
- Open Instagram on your PC and ensure that you are logged in
- Down the left hand side of your screen, you will see a series of options. Click on ‘Create’
- This will open a pop up message, inviting you to start selecting the photos and videos that you want to upload
- Find and select the images that you want to share in your new post
- Move through the editing screens, adding any filters to your image, cropping it, and adding a caption
- Click on ‘Share’ when you’re ready for the post to be sent to your feed

And there you have it, a post that has been shared via your PC device!

## What Are The Benefits Of Posting On a PC?

Before we leave you to experiment and start comparing the posting process on a smartphone versus that on a PC, a few key points.

When you share on a PC, you have access to a bigger screen with more control over your editing. The zoom and crop function is a useful feature in the PC upload process, and the adjustments screen is much easier to control.

If you’ve tried both options, posting on a mobile device and a PC, we’d love to know which one you found easier!
