How to repost a link on instagram
Ways to Reshare Content From Other Users
Instagram is a powerful social media platform to help increase brand reach and drive new business, but it can be time-consuming and expensive to consistently share content you need to see your engagement grow in the long-term — which is why you should learn how to repost on Instagram.
In this post, we'll show you different free ways to repost on Instagram in a few simple steps. But before diving in, let’s discuss why reposting on Instagram can benefit your brand.
Why should your brand repost on Instagram?
Instagram is one of the largest social media sites on the market. With over one billion monthly active users, brands that incorporate the site into marketing strategy can reach larger audiences and gain visibility faster over other social media channels.
And with an audience like that, you want to consistently post high-quality content — but that can take time, effort, and resources that may not fit your budget just yet. Since most marketers post between 3-4 times per week, you should have a backlog of content to keep up with demand.
Additionally, user-generated content (UGC) performs exceptionally well. In fact, 90% of consumers say UGC holds more influence over their buying decisions than promotional emails and even search engine results.
For instance, consider the power of Warby Parker reposting this funny image from one of its customers, @cjronson:
View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Warby Parker (@warbyparker)
Not only does the image likely appeal to Warby Parker customers, but it ultimately made Warby Parker marketers' jobs easier — they didn’t need to create that content in-house.
Reposting to Instagram can help you highlight brand endorsements from your customers, brand loyalists, and employees.
UGC is typically considered more trustworthy since a consumer isn't gaining anything by promoting your product or service (unless it's an advertisement) — they're just doing it to tell their audiences that they like your product.

How to Repost on Instagram
Instagram allows you to repost other users’ Reels and posts to your own Instagram Story using its native reposting functionality. However, it has its limits: It doesn’t let you repost to any permanent part of your Instagram profile, including your feed, Reels, or videos.
In other words, Instagram only lets you temporarily share someone else’s content for 24 hours max. If you do want to keep it permanently, you can add it to an Instagram Story Highlight.
If you’re looking to add a post to your permanent feed and credit the original creator, read about how to do that in the next sections. For now, let’s learn how you can repost content to your Story and add it to your highlights.
1. Navigate to the post, Reel, or video you want to repost.
First, find the right content to share with your followers. You can do this through several avenues:
- Search for industry hashtags and repost popular posts by other brands and influencers
- Search for branded hashtags, which will show you user-generated content made by your customers and fans
- See the posts you’ve been tagged in and repost any that align with your brand
- Find brands that you admire and repost the content that most aligns with your brand
Remember that you can only repost content from users and brands with public profiles.
Note: You can also repost other people’s Stories, so long as you’re tagged in them. You can find those who’ve mentioned you in their Story in your Direct Messages.
2. Click the paper airplane symbol on the post or Reel.
On photos and videos, the button will be located next to the Like and Comment buttons.
On Reels, it will be located between the Comment button and the three dots.
3. On the pop-up menu, click “Add post to your story.”
A pop-up will appear with several options. If you’re sharing a post, you have the option to add it to your story, reply to the poster (if they allow replies), or send the post via Direct Message to anyone you’ve messaged recently.
Similar options appear when you try to share a Reel.
Click Add post to your story or Add reel to your story.
4. Tap to show and hide the post’s caption.
Next, you should see a draft of your story.
You have the option of either showing or hiding the caption. Simply tap the post to toggle between the two.
5. Add text, stickers, hashtags, and other elements.
To get the most engagement possible and align the repost with your brand, spruce up the story with text and other elements. You can even add a link or a call-to-action. Learn how to customize your Instagram Story here.
6.
To share, click “Your Story.”It’s time to finish your repost. At the bottom, click the button that says “Your Story” at the bottom. This will automatically share it with no additional action required.
You also have the option to click "Close Friends", if you only want a select group to view your story. Last, if you click the right-hand arrow, you’ll see additional options to share the post via DM or with your close friends.
7. Add the shared post to your Highlights.
While Instagram doesn’t allow you to share posts directly to your permanent feed, you can add it to one of your Highlights, which will remain permanently on your profile. Learn how to create Highlights here.
Here’s one example from a stationer called MARK+FOLD:
With Stories, the same best practices should be followed as for sharing a post. If you don’t know the person and suspect the content you’d like to re-share might be licensed material, ask for permission first. Give credit to the original posters whenever possible.
How to Repost on Instagram Using a Screenshot
- Take a screenshot of the Instagram post you want to use.
- Tap the new post button located on the top right corner, select post.
- Resize the photo in the app.
- Edit and add filters of your choice.
- Add a citation.
- Add a caption.
- Click share on the top right corner.
The screenshot method doesn't require other websites to repost on Instagram. It's worth nothing that this method only works for reposting photos, not videos.
Here's how to do it.
1. Find a photo on Instagram you'd like to repost, and take a screenshot with your phone.
- For iOS: Press down on the home and lock buttons simultaneously until your screen flashes.
- For Android: Press down on the sleep/wake and volume down buttons simultaneously until your screen flashes.
2. Tap the new post button.
Once you've got your screenshot, return to your Instagram account. Tap the "new post button" in the top right of your Instagram screen (the plus sign inside a square).
Then select "Post" (other options include "Story" "Reels" or "Live").
3. Resize the photo in the app.
Keep in mind that your phone will take a screenshot of everything on your screen, not just the photo you want to repost. So, be prepared to crop the sides of the screenshot to capture just the image you want to share with your followers.
After you've cropped or resized the photo to your liking (by pinching the image and then widening your fingers apart), click "Next" in the top-right of your screen.
4. Edit and add filters of your choice.
Edit and filter the post like you would any other Instagram post.
5. Add a citation.
The repost won't include a citation, so we suggest adding one by typing "@ + [username]" to credit the original poster with the photo you're reposting.
6. Add a caption.
At the top you'll see a preview of your post along with space for a caption. You can choose to tag people or organizations, and add a location.
7. Click share.
Once you've finished customizing the post with the options above, click share at the top right corner. The post will be live.
Here's how the finished product looks:
Pro Tip: When reposting content through screenshots, make sure you properly tag or give credit to the original content owner either within your story by linking to their account, or in the description of a post or reel.

Why repost on Instagram?
Reposting on Instagram is a way to ride the momentum of conversations that are already getting lots of engagement among your followers and target audience. It’s a win for both you and the original poster as it garners engagement for you and widens their own exposure. Here are some of the specific benefits of reposting on Instagram:
- Cultivate community: Acknowledging and uplifting others cultivates an inviting and engaged community around your brand.
- Save time: This is basically pre-made content that you know will do well and that you can share in just a few steps.
- Diversify content: Reposting can naturally deliver content from a range of perspectives and backgrounds that resonate with your audience.
- Get new ideas: When your creative well is running dry, this is a great way to spark inspiration (although you can find dozens of ideas in our Social Media Marketing Lab).
- Build trust: Sharing valuable content—and not just your own—shows your audience that you know them well and have their best interests (and not just your follower count)
What to repost on Instagram
Repost anything that sparks interest from your audience. Here’s who you can repost from:
- Influencers: Share content from influencers in your industry that will bring value to your audience.
- Complementary businesses: These are businesses that share your audience but aren’t competitors.
For example, GoPro and Redbull. - Accounts that share your core values: For example, you might repost an inspiring quote or demonstration of leadership or great customer service.
- Customers and followers: User-generated content is any post from your customers or audience that acknowledges your business. Posts with user-generated content yield a 5% higher conversion rate than non-UGC.
As you’ll see in each of the instructions below, you’ll always want to tag the original poster and mention them in your caption.

Step 5: Clearly credit the original poster in your caption copy.
Step 6: Tap “Share” and wait for users to start engaging.

Instagram repost apps aren’t one size fits all. Different apps have different features. Play around to see which one works best for your content strategy.

1. Reposta
Reposta on Google Play is super straightforward. It features a short list of instructions on the launch screen to guide you through the reposting process. Additionally, you get a few options for pasting a link, grabbing the link from Instagram, or sharing directly to the app.

This feature has appeared quite recently, but has already gained great popularity. This was possible due to the high demand for the repost of extraneous stories. Someone else's story will appear in a blurred frame in the feed of the person who reposted. But many Instagram users who are new to the social network may not know what Stories are. nine0003
What are stories, where are they located?
Stories is a special feature on the Instagram social network that allows you to record and then post a short video to your page in a special field (more on that below).
The main feature of this feature is that stories are not stored on the page all the time until they are deleted by the owner. On the contrary, stories are automatically deleted exactly one day after publication.
Finding and viewing them is easy enough. You need to go to the very top of the tape. At the top of the screen, there will be stories. The entry itself is made in the form of a circle, which depicts the person who posted this story. You just need to click on the person's avatar and Stories will open on the screen. nine0003
If you've been tagged…
If you've been tagged in a story, it's easiest to repost it. But many may have a question: how to find out that I was noted in stories. Usually, if this happens, then the person who was marked receives a notification that informs him about this.
Right next to the notification, you can find the inscription "Add this to the story." Just click on this button and the selected story will appear in the feed.
If you want to share the story with a specific person, then you need to click on the icon that resembles a paper airplane, and then select the person to whom you want to send the story. nine0003
Reposting someone else's story
The phrase "someone else's story" means that story in which the person who wants to repost is not tagged. In this case, you also need to click on the button that looks like a paper airplane, and then select the person with whom you want to share the story. If you need to add it to your page, then after clicking on the airplane, you should click on "Add".
Post reposts
A post is any photo, video, any text and everything else. The main task of the post is to attract as much attention as possible. Reposts, like likes with comments, allow you to evaluate how interesting this or that post is. You can repost a post to your feed, history, or simply download it for some personal purposes. nine0003
Repost someone else's post to your story
When adding someone else's post to your story, you can edit it a bit.
For example, write an inscription, add stickers, and so on. But keep in mind that the link to the original post will be in the published story. Therefore, a person who watches a story with a reposted post can go to the original at any time. To repost someone else's post to your story, you need to:
- click on the paper airplane under the post; nine0058
- click on "Add post to your story";
- edit the post if necessary;
- Post to a personal story.
Do not forget that you can repost a post to your story only from an open profile. If a person for some reason decided to close his account, then reposting his post or stories will not work in this way.
Repost someone else's post to your feed
It is impossible to repost someone else's post to your feed. What can be done instead:
- insert code (for posting on the site) ;
- screenshot;
- through third party applications.
The first method is the only one of the above, which was approved by the administration of Insta. In order to repost any entry by pasting the code, you only need:
- Select the post you like.
- Click on the three dots in the top right corner of the post. nine0058
- Click on "Copy link".
- Paste the copied link into the post editor.
After all the actions done, the page will display exactly the same publication with an attached link to the profile of the author of this post.
Screenshot - the easiest, but not quite allowed way. Since a ban can fly in for stealing someone else's content and appropriating it to yourself if the administration of the social network notices this. However, many often use this method. To repost the post you like on your page using a screenshot, you should:
- Select the post you like.
- Take a screenshot in the usual way.
- After that, just add a screenshot to your profile like any other photo.
To avoid a ban, you can simply mark the author of this post. To do this, while editing a future post, you should click on "Mark a person" and select the author or indicate his name after the special character: "@". Then usually the administration does not ban such reposts. nine0003
The last method involves installing third-party applications on your smartphone. If a person is ready to sacrifice his internal memory in order to be able to repost other people's posts, then you can use the following programs:
- Regrann (Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com .jaredco.regrann&hl=en iPhone: https://appvisor.ru/app/ios/repost-for-instagram-regrann-56008/).
- Insta Repost for Instagram (Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redcactus.repost&hl=en). nine0058
- Repost for Instagram (Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redcactus.repost&hl=en. iPhone: https://soft-ok.net/2207-repost-for -instagram.
html).
In all of the above programs, the interface is simple, so problems should not arise. Usually it all comes down to the fact that through the downloaded program you should log in, find the post, click on the three dots in the upper right corner and click on "Share" or something similar (it may differ in different programs, but the meaning is the same). nine0003
Video repost
Video repost, as well as post repost, is currently impossible to do. There are two ways: download the video or use the app. The first option can be problematic, as downloading videos is not always possible. Therefore, it is better to have a downloaded application in order to be able to repost whatever your heart desires:
- Regrann;
- Insta Repost for Instagram;
- Repost for Instagram.
As you can see, these are the same applications as for reposting posts. It’s just that they are universal, and with the help of them you can repost anything on Instagram.
Links to download them can be found in the "Repost someone else's post to yourself" block. There, at the very end, you can find a brief general instruction that tells how these applications work.
Download a post and do whatever you want with it
As mentioned above, you can simply download a post or video to do something with it later. For example, put it on your page. The easiest way: go to Insta through a PC and paste the character set at the very end into the address bar of the browser: media/?size=l. nine0003
You can find out other ways to download posts at the link: https://gruzdevv.ru/stati/kak-skachat-foto-video-storis-iz-instagram/.
Place a post on your website
Sometimes there are times when you need to place your favorite post from Instagram on your website. This can be done in the way allowed by the Instagram administration - using the embed code. This method was discussed a little higher, but here it will be described again, since the last steps are different:
- Find a post you like.
- Click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the post.
- Click on "Copy link".
- Go to your own site and paste the copied link address into the editor, then save the changes.
After that, a reposted post with a link to its author will appear on the site. The last condition is necessary, because otherwise it will be considered content theft. The site owner can be forced to remove this post, but this happens quite rarely. nine0003
Send to WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber
Now it is difficult to meet a person who is not registered on Instagram. But sometimes you want to share a post or story with a friend that is not registered on this social network. You can do this without downloading any software. But there is one condition - WhatsApp or another program must be installed on the phone through which the post or story should be reposted.
Post
- Find a post you like. nine0058
- Click on the three dots in the top right corner of the post.
- Click on Share.
- Select the desired messenger.
- Select the person or conversation to send the post to.
Stories
- Find your favorite story.
- Click on the three dots in the lower right corner of the screen.
- Click on "Share link".
- Select messenger.
- Select a person or conversation and send the story. nine0058
In summary
Increase activity on your blog or online store on Instagram. A new and 100% legal way to promote is GetFans.
Instagram reposts are the right tool. But it is important to remember that when reposting, you should always indicate the author of the post, story or video. Otherwise, it can be mistaken for theft and plagiarism. And for this, according to the rules of this social network, the user is banned. It is best to download special applications for reposts, they will make life much easier for people who like to share the posts they like.

Sharing a story on Instagram is allowed if the user has been mentioned in the story. When someone tags a user in their stories, they get a "Mentioned you in their story" notification.
To repost, follow these steps:
- Click "Add to your story"
- Click the "+" sign next to the "Your story" button.
If the profile of the user who tagged you is public, the story will be published and their alias will appear. Subscribers can then easily navigate to the original story. nine0003 Repost Instagram stories on computer: Pixabay
Repost stories in feed
How to repost Instagram stories from computer? To do this, load the story as usual. Then do the following:
- Click the three gray dots in the lower right corner of the screen and select Share as Post.
- Then edit the post, add a caption, hashtags, and whatever else you like, and publish it.
Note that this method only works if you want to share your story as a post, not someone else's, unless you've previously been tagged in someone else's story. nine0003
