DedupeHow to re-post a photo on Instagram?
Last Updated :Instagram is a popular photo-sharing app, but you can't really re-post something someone else uploads. Luckily, there are ways to work around that restriction if you find a photo that you absolutely have to share with your followers. Whether you want to share it on your blog or post it to your feed, re-posting an Instagram photo will only take you a couple minutes.
- Open Instagram on your phone. Tap the Instagram app on your smartphone to open it. Find an existing post that you want to re-post.
- Take a screenshot of the post. Since there is no way to natively repost a photo, you will need to take a screenshot, crop it, and share it to your own wall.
- On iPhones and iPads, this can be done by pressing the Power button and the Home button simultaneously.
- If you have an Android device, the process may vary from phone to phone. See this article for guidance. - Press the camera button in the center. Scroll up to browse through the pictures on your phone. Select the screenshot you just took from your photo album.
- Put the post in the center of the crop box. Make sure to include the username of the person who originally posted it. Instagram photo's belong the the original photographer, and you can get your account banned by not giving credit. Press Crop when you're finished making adjustments.
- Try to remove any borders and edges so that it looks like an actual photo instead of a screenshot of a photo. - Add effects to the photo. If you want, you can filter, blur, and perform other edits on the photo before posting it. When you are satisfied, press Next.
- Tag the original photographer. On the next page, you can tag the original poster of your screenshot by tapping "Add People," or give them a shout-out in the caption. A caption such as "Re-posted from @username" or "Thanks @username for the post!" would do.
- Share the photo. When you are done setting the sharing options, press "Share." You have now re-posted the post to your Instagram!

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug!
Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
