Instagram PC Version

I recently had the chance to use Instagram on PC.

1. Key Points

My phone unexpectedly stopped working, so I thought I'd try using social media on my PC instead and logged in, but I had no idea how to use any of the features. So I looked up how to use Instagram on PC and learned everything step by step, eventually managing to upload posts as well. Since you might find yourself in the same situation, I recommend getting familiar with the Instagram PC version in advance. Once I properly got the hang of using Instagram on PC this time around, I found it quite convenient to use in many ways. Meanwhile, it is widely known that most young people these days enjoy social media, especially Instagram, and since you never know when you might suddenly need to use the Instagram PC version, it may not be a bad idea to learn about it beforehand.

2. Detailed Explanation

So today I'd like to write an informational post about this. Since I think most people upload a lot of their photos to Instagram, let me start by explaining this part. First, after logging in with your account, clicking the plus sign visible on the screen will allow you to create a new post. Alternatively, you can also click the plus sign on your own profile to create a new post, so feel free to use whichever method is more convenient for you. Also, it is said that you can select a folder on your computer and drag and drop photos and videos here. Of course, if there are no photos saved on your PC, you obviously cannot upload the photos you want.

3. How to Use

I didn't know this at first either, but fortunately I had set up cloud sync, so I was able to upload without any issues. When uploading photos via PC, some people find it actually more convenient to use since the screen is larger than when using the app. Additionally, you can also use crop, zoom in, and zoom out functions. Furthermore, after importing a photo, you can crop, zoom in and out, adjust filters, brightness, saturation, and even apply blur, so it's known to be as convenient as using the app. There is also a crop function, and you can crop and upload in various aspect ratios such as 1:1, 4:5,

and 16:9. Moreover, you can click and hold the center of a photo with your mouse to move the image, so if you're not happy with the original shot, you can edit it using these features. Instagram PC version has filters, though not advanced ones, and you can freely adjust brightness, contrast, temperature, and more by moving the sliders, so use these features as you wish. In addition, you can freely change the mood of photos through various filter effects, and in particular, the brightness and saturation adjustment functions are said to allow professional-level editing. Furthermore,

5. Advanced Content

using the temperature adjustment function, you can create a warm or cool feel as you like. After editing and making adjustments, some of you may want to share your posts. It is understood that Instagram PC version also allows you to tag people and search hashtags, just like when using the Instagram app. Meanwhile, with a recent update, improvements were made to things that were not previously possible, one of which is line breaks. Originally this was not possible and many users complained about the inconvenience, but it is now known that you can easily add line breaks using the Enter key, so after writing your caption you can add tags and upload.

6. Notes

Of course, it has also become possible to upload multiple photos at once. After uploading multiple photos, there may come a time when you want to selectively delete some of them. Meanwhile, it is known that you can now upload up to 10 photos at once, making it very convenient for sharing photos from various angles or consecutive scenes. Also, when uploading multiple photos, you can freely adjust the order, so it is said that you can arrange photos like telling a story. This can also be done easily on the Instagram PC version. First, click on your profile picture in the upper right corner, then click the menu item that says Profile.

Then a photo-shaped icon will appear, and it is said that you click on it and then click the three-dot icon in the upper right to click on the option that says Edit. Furthermore, a trash can icon will then appear in the upper left, and it is said that clicking it and selecting the option that says Delete is the method, so you can easily select and selectively delete some photos from multiple uploaded photos. However, there are cases where people are flustered because the delete button is not visible at all on Instagram PC version, and I also

8. 8th Information

was looking up how to use Instagram PC version and trying things one by one, and I remember being flustered because the delete icon was not visible to me. However, it turned out that when there are only 2 photos, the delete icon does not appear. For posts with more than 2 photos uploaded, the delete icon will appear, so please keep that in mind. I also got the hang of using Instagram PC version properly this time and it feels much more convenient to use now. Recently, it is said that some people use Instagram PC version at work to check social media on their PC without looking at their phone, and they manage their social media while pretending to work without feeling self-conscious.

Of course, since I do this during my spare time after finishing my own work, it's not a big issue, but I still feel a bit self-conscious about using social media at work. Meanwhile, using the PC version allows you to check DMs on a large monitor and manage comments much more easily. Also, since you can use a keyboard, it is said to be much faster and more convenient when writing long comments or replies. Anyway, it seems like I've now completely gotten the hang of using Instagram PC version, so I expect to use it even more often going forward. And one more thing I'd like to add is that if you want to use the Instagram PC version a bit more conveniently, it's a good idea to install a Chrome extension, and for reference, the said extension

is completely unrelated to the official Instagram website and is a program that is independently developed and maintained. Meanwhile, it is said that installing the Chrome extension allows you to use various additional features such as bulk image download, story saving, and analytics. Also, if you don't have the Chrome browser, you can download and install it, and it is also said to work on Naver Whale, which is Chrome-based, so those who want to use Instagram on desktop should find this helpful.
