There might be a better way, but I email myself the image. Then I open the email on my iPhone and download and save the image. Then the image is available for IG.

i either use dropbox to upload non-iphone pictures on my phone or just save the picture from my flickr page on my phone

I send the file I want to upload to Instagram to my phone.
Then when I go to Instagram, I select the file from the folder on my phone and upload it.
I use an android, but works the same with an iPhone.

I use Google Photos to upload them to a cloud storage then I simply open the Drive app in my device to download the photos I want to upload.

I use a Toshiba FlashAir SD card and use their iPhone app to download the jpgs onto iPhone's camera folder then upload to instagram. I set up the camera so that from one exposure it will give me DNG + JPG. The DNG then becomes like 'negs' on the computer when I get home.

Amazing... Sounds like the last step in putting photos on Instagram is always from a smart phone... All those photos got there by being uploaded from a phone? Well, I'm now better informed, thanks!

I upload my pictures to Flickr. You can send them straight from the Flickr app to Instagram.

well..you could display the image and make an iphone shot of the screen

I think taking a photo of a print gives better results.

Upload to Flickr.
Use the Flickr app to download to the phone.
-If it's a horizontal photo, post straight to Instagram.
-If it's a vertical photo, use Squaready to export with thin white borders to maintain the aspect ratio.

I download them from the web on my phone. I use InstaSize App to resize and upload to Instagram.

Alternative: get a tablet for the same job. If your camera is new enough to have wifi, it's a breeze to download jpgs; if not, Eyefi Mobi cards do the same trick.

Newer iPad minis--64-128g--hold many many images, display them at roughly 5x7--where you can really see what a effect a crop will have via 2-finger zooming.

Get the free Lightroom app, too, for far better editing editing on the go than you can get from the Aviary editor bundled with iPhone-specific photo posting apps like InstaFit. (The original specs of Instagram were awfully confining--everything cropped square, toy-cam "filters," ick.

If you already have a smartphone, great. I don't have/don't want one for other reasons. But with a 128g iPad I can do most of what I need a computer for, photographically, combined with the A7's wifi and Eyefi cards in my GR and Fuji XE.

+1 to Robert's method. An iPad mini with Retina display is an excellent gateway to Instagram. And if you tie to iCloud the library capacity that IG sees on your mini can be whatever size you might need.

Retina display on the mini is great for viewing. Snapseed by Google is a free, capable, and popular editing app for it. Filterstorm Neue is a good alternative, and there are many others.

IG filters have improved a lot in recent updates. Personally, I like the look of HEFE.

+2. EyeFi with older cameras. In built NFC&WiFi with newer.

Yes Snapseed is great. Can even develop raw nowadays, although getting those from DSLR to phone/tablet is more complex than jpegs.
