1. How to upload photos to Instagram from Flume
Among the most well-known applications Flume. With this app you can see yours to feed instagram in a neat, clean and accurate way.
At first glance, it turns out that the app only shows a sequence of images without text and there is no selection you would like or leave a comment. However, click on an image to display its title, as well as icons that will allow you to comment on a photo or like it.
The app also shows you your latest notifications, best photos and even gives you selected profile recommendations based on what you publish.
It also offers the ability to use Instagram Direct, which allows users to exchange messages and photos privately.
However, the most impressive feature of Flume is the ease of uploading photos or videos to Instagram, something with a few special requests to upload photos to Instagram from a PC supply.
You simply place the mouse over the bottom left corner of the app and the menu appears. Then click on the camera icon and take a picture or video there, or if you prefer to upload one to your Mac.
However, not all that glitter is gold.
Although Flume is free to download, it has a limited number of photos uploaded to your account. Once the limit is exceeded you will need to sign up for the Flume Pro version.
This version is not available in the App Store, so you'll need to download it from the Flume website.
You can download Flume for free here.

You can edit each photo or video (like Instagram), and add individual phrases to each image. It also has the option to grow, so you can cut the image you want to upload to Instagram so it has the square that Instagram wants.
Uplet is recommended for pro users, Instagram enthusiasts. Our complaint: the app does not currently support multi-photo uploading tool, as it does on the mobile version of Instagram.
However, we think this tool will be included in future Uplet updates.
Uplet costs € 16.20, but you can also get a free (limited) display at
3. How to use the emulator to upload photos to Instagram
Another way to upload photos to Instagram from Mac is an emulator. One of the most consistent and reliable simulations we have ever found is Bluestacks, a free Android emulator that you can download here. It will be like installing Instagram on your Mac or PC.
Once downloaded, you must configure Android-enabled Android. To get this, you'll need a Google Account and a Bluestacks account.
You will need to link these two accounts. Once this is done, you can use the Android emulator to The toy store (equivalent to the Android App Store) and enter Instagram.
You can now log into your Instagram account and use the app as you would if you were using a mobile phone. This means that you can upload all the photos and videos you want to Instagram without using a smartphone or iPhone.
