InstaDesk: Post to Instagram from PC — Upload Reels, Stories & Schedule

Upload photos, reels & stories to Instagram from your PC. Schedule posts on a desktop calendar, download media, track unfollowers.

Instagram's website can post and schedule now — but it still won't do stories, won't queue a batch, won't let you pick your reel's cover frame, and won't tell you who unfollowed you. InstaDesk fills in the rest, right inside instagram.com. WHAT'S NEW — 1.6.3, AUGUST 2026 • FOUNDING MEMBERS: the first 10 people to buy get lifetime access for $59 instead of $129 — every feature we ever add, paid once. Early buyers are taking a chance on a new tool, and this is the thanks • ELEVEN THEMES, in three collections — Galaxy, Neon and Aurora; Liquid Glass, Modern and Sand & Clay; Sage Garden, Nordic Mist and Espresso. Each one restyles posts, menus and dialogs, and gives the like button a shape of its own: a star on Galaxy, a coin on Money, a leaf on Sage Garden. It runs in your browser only: nobody else sees it and your account is untouched • 50 FREE DOWNLOADS. Save photos, reels and stories in full quality, no plan needed • A real seek bar on reels and videos, on by default, in your theme's colour • Every paid tool now comes with free uses instead of a countdown, so you try it on your own work before you decide anything • Grow account: likes and follows on hashtags checked against your account size first, with caps you can see and every action written down • Fixed: the download and audio buttons appeared on some posts and not others, and lagged behind while scrolling • Fixed: the sidebar icon could disappear after opening Notifications • Fixed: reels and posts in languages other than English now get the full toolkit POST AND UPLOAD FROM YOUR PC • Photos, carousels up to 10, reels and stories — no phone, no emulator • Drag files straight from your computer, or upload from your desktop in one click • Scrub to pick any frame of your video as the cover • Tag collaborators, add a location, write alt text • Turn off commenting or hide like counts before you post • Put your hashtags in the first comment automatically • Add a link sticker to a story, or share it to close friends only • Repost content you've saved, without leaving Instagram REAL INSTAGRAM AUDIO ON YOUR REELS — ALWAYS UNLOCKED Most desktop tools charge to add music, or serve you their own stock library. InstaDesk attaches Instagram's own tracks, credited to the audio page exactly as if you'd posted from the app. • Watching a reel with a sound you want? One button attaches it to your next reel • InstaDesk quietly notes every track Instagram serves you as you browse • It counts how often each one comes back, so you can see what's climbing in your niche instead of guessing • Preview anything before you commit, and keep a library of the ones you like • Music on video: lay your own audio over a clip in the browser before posting WHAT INSTAGRAM'S OWN SCHEDULER STILL WON'T DO Instagram added scheduling for feed posts. These are the gaps it left: • STORIES. Instagram cannot schedule a story. InstaDesk can — link sticker and all • BULK. Drop a folder in, set one cadence, and queue a week in a single sitting • A MONTH CALENDAR you can actually see. Drag a post to another day to move it • Publish early on one click, or cancel without rebuilding the post • Every attempt is logged — pending, published or failed, with the reason. A post that fails tells you why instead of vanishing • InstaDesk will never double-post. A publish that gets interrupted is flagged for you to check, never silently repeated • Your files stay on your own computer until they go out. Nothing is uploaded to a server in advance • Scheduled posts publish while Instagram is open in a tab DOWNLOAD IN FULL QUALITY • A built-in downloader that saves photos, videos, reels and stories at original resolution • Works on posts, permalinks and the scrolling reels feed • Files land in a tidy InstaDesk folder in your Downloads KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE • See exactly who doesn't follow you back — by name, not just a number • Track who unfollowed you between scans • Export your followers or following to CSV • Flag likely bot followers (read-only — nothing is removed for you) • Account stats at a glance A BETTER FEED • Hide sponsored posts • A real seek bar and volume control on reels • Mobile view on desktop • Hashtag collections: save sets of hashtags and reuse them in one click • Quick DM replies: save the messages you send constantly • Ghost mode: watch stories and read messages without being marked as seen GROW ACCOUNT — AND EXACTLY HOW IT BEHAVES InstaDesk can like posts, and follow accounts if you choose, on hashtags you pick. It tells you first whether a hashtag is even winnable for an account your size, so you aren't spending the day on tags where you'll never be seen. It is the one tool here that acts without a click for each action, so it is governed carefully. It ships switched off. It cannot be enabled until you have read a notice explaining the risk and ticked a box. It works to a conservative hourly and daily ceiling that you cannot raise. It stops itself the moment Instagram pushes back and stays off until you restart it. And every single action is written to the Activity log on your own computer, so you can always see exactly what was done on your behalf — and open the post to check. Automated liking and following are against Instagram's terms, and a restriction falls on your account, not on ours. That is why it is off by default, why the limits are deliberately low, and why it stops at the first sign of trouble rather than pushing on. WHAT IT WILL NEVER DO InstaDesk will never comment on anything or message anyone on your behalf. Not once, not ever — those aren't settings you switch off, they aren't built. Nothing else touches your account unless you switched it on yourself. PRIVACY Your photos, videos, captions, drafts, scheduled posts, sound library and follower lists stay on your computer. There is no server of ours for them to go to, and no account to create. InstaDesk never asks for your Instagram password — it works through the session already in your browser. Two things do leave your machine, and it's fair that you know: a licence check when you buy, and a small configuration file that tells InstaDesk which parts of Instagram have changed. Neither one carries anything about you, your account or your content. PRICING No card, no signup, no account. Ever. Every paid tool comes with free uses, so you try it on your own work before you decide anything: 2 scheduled posts, 5 downloads, 3 account insights, an unfollower scan, a follower export, 2 goes at the music studio, and 50 free actions on Grow account. They're counted per tool and they don't expire. Try scheduling in March and downloads in June — nothing runs out because you never got round to it. Posting stays unlocked permanently: photos, carousels, reels and stories, with tagging, locations, alt text, link stickers, hashtags in the first comment, and real Instagram audio on your reels. The ad blocker, mobile view, video controls, hashtag collections and saved replies stay unlocked too. Pro — $7.99/month, $49/year, or $129 once — takes the limits off all of it: Grow account, story scheduling, the calendar and bulk queue, media downloads, ghost mode, the music studio, unfollower tracking, bot detection, follower export, account insights and sound momentum ranking. That is less than half the price of the leading alternative, and the yearly plan works out at $4.08 a month. Lifetime means lifetime. It includes every feature added from here on, at no extra cost, and nothing you buy today will ever be moved behind another plan.
