Let’s get to it! ✏️

First things first. If you’ve messed up your location or tags or need to know how to edit your Instagram caption, here’s the way to fix them:

• Find the Instagram photo you want to edit
• Tap the three dots at the top right of the photo
• Tap Edit on the drop-down menu that appears
• Press the detail you want to edit. You can make changes to:
  • Instagram photo tags (bottom left)
  • Instagram Alt Text (bottom right)
  • Location (Top Left)
  • Caption
• When you’re finished, press Done (iOS) or the checkmark (Android).

But wait! There are a few things to keep in mind when you’re editing your caption, especially if you’re trying to fix formatting or line breaks!

If you’ve posted your caption and it’s one wall of text, you can add spaces to your caption by hitting the return key after each paragraph.

Just make sure you remove any hidden spaces after the punctuation at the end of your sentences, or Instagram will ignore your line break! 😭

You may even have to remove an emoji (at the end of your sentence) in order to get it to work.

Sound annoying? It is. 😤 There’s good news though!

You can avoid formatting issues entirely by using the caption tool in Tailwind for Instagram! 🎉 Our formatting tool allows you to add a clever caption and select your favorite emojis with ease from the Emoji Picker keyboard.

It also automatically removes the pesky space that appears after emoji on your smartphone keyboard. 🥳

Not only that, but our caption tool also preserves your line breaks!

Well, unless you hit the Space key after the end of your line! ⛔️

You may be searching the web, desperately trying to find out how to edit Instagram photos after posting.

Here’s the bad news – you can’t. Unfortunately, you have one shot to add the right filter, crop or adjust your photo before it goes live. 😔 Instagram doesn’t currently support any features to edit your Instagram photos after you post.

If you’ve messed up your favorite photo before sending it to your feed, your best bet is to delete and re-upload.

Make sure to copy and paste your caption before you do this, so you don’t lose all your hard work – and hashtags!

I’m sorry we don’t have better news here. To cut down on room for error, make sure to edit your Instagram photos thoroughly before posting.

So, can you add photos to an Instagram post after you’ve posted it? No, you can’t. Unfortunately, this capability isn’t available on Instagram OR in Facebook Creator Studio yet (although it’s certainly been requested!)

Missed out on adding a key photo or video to your latest carousel post?

You’ll want to delete or archive the post as quickly as possible and re-upload the correct series.

Pay close attention to each frame and swipe through a few times to double-check before you post!

This will help you keep track and catch mistakes before they go live.

In fact, one of the best ways to combat pesky mistakes on Instagram posts before they cost you time and energy is planning and scheduling your content in advance!

That’s where our all-in-one tool comes in! 🔥

Tailwind’s Instagram publishing tool allows you to tag your images, set your location and format your caption perfectly the first time around. 🧑‍💻

Plus, you can crop your photos and check how they’ll look in your feed with our 9-Grid preview tool! 🤩

How to add a photo to Instagram?

Instagram itself is designed to share experiences. You can use the social network from a PC or smartphone. But adding a photo to Instagram through the latter is much easier - apart from the application itself, nothing else is needed for this.

Can I add a photo or story to Instagram from a computer?

The topic of publishing photos on Instagram from a computer has always been relevant. The Internet is full of different ways, most of which involve installing additional applications. But it is long, and sometimes even difficult. Therefore, we suggest using the following method:0003

1. We go to Instagram through the browser, press the key combination Ctrl + Shift + I or hover over any empty space, press the right mouse button and select View code. This menu will appear on the side:

2. In the upper left corner of this menu, there is an icon with a phone and a tablet. We press.

3. After clicking, the Instagram view will change. Now press F5 or round arrow in the upper left corner of the browser to refresh the page. On Instagram, the bottom menu will appear, as in the mobile version.

4. Now, if you need to publish a photo, close the menu by clicking on the gray cross in the upper right corner and use instagram like on your phone.

5. If you want to add a story, then leave the menu open and click on the camera icon to the left of the inscription "Instagram" . This function only works when the menu is open.

Add a photo from your phone to Instagram in 4 steps

Posting and sharing your photo from your mobile device is very simple.

1. Enter the profile and look for "+" at the bottom of the screen.

2. Click on it and get access to the gallery and camera. In the first case, we select a ready-made picture from the library, in the second we make a new one online directly in the Instagram account. It looks like this:

If you want to take a photo or shoot a video, go to the corresponding inscription. After selecting or taking a picture, click "next" at the top right. nine0003

3. Get into the photo editor. Here you can adjust the brightness of the image. Scroll the ribbon with tools to the left - there are enough filters to get the desired quality. To align it, add or remove brightness, sharpness, contrast, etc. go to the "edit" tab (also at the bottom of the screen). At the end of the correction, we look up and send the “Next” frame.

4. Everything is ready! You can sign - your comment is added right next to in the same window. A little lower is the "tag people" option. Now you can share by clicking the blue button of the same name in the upper right. nine0003

Your Instagram photo! The same is done with video.

How to add several photos to Instagram at once?

Posting multiple photos is possible in two ways:

• Several different posts. Each photo has a separate post.
• Carousel. Multiple photos in one post.

Consider the second option in detail. To do this, in step No. 2 of the previous instruction, before clicking "Next", we activate the inscription "select several" at the bottom. nine0003

We get into the general gallery with the ability to select frames:

Mark the ones you need and only after that go up and click "Next". It turns out a carousel of several pictures.
On the web, such a collage looks like this:

Below, in the line with a heart, there is a quadruple. It says that there are several frames in the post. This is also evidenced by the counter in the upper right corner - 2/4. That is, we have the 2nd of 4. Flipping through them is simple - with a light touch on the screen with a shift to the left. In total, you can add up to 10 photos or videos to the carousel. nine0003

How do I post full size photos on Instagram?

Until recently, all frames for an Instagram profile had to be cut. The network accepted only square images. Now the restrictions on the dimensions and orientation of the image have been removed. Vertical or horizontal, it doesn't matter.

So, choose a photo through the gallery or take a new camera. Before uploading to the profile, adjust the size. To prevent the picture from looking cropped, use the double brackets in the lower left
corner - . Full size without cropping guaranteed.

You can trim as follows. Having selected it, touch the center and stretch your fingers in different directions - a grid will appear. Move until only the desired image remains in it and click "Next".
Then filter and edit as in the instructions above, and you can publish.

How many photos can you add to Instagram in a day?

Instagram does not have a hard limit on the number of daily posts. nine0003

There is a possibility that your account will be blocked if you post more than 100 photos per day. But only if they look like spam.

Can I add a photo to a published post?

You can't edit anything in an already published material - change the size, add effects, adjust the lighting, etc.
