I do all my photo editing on the PC. But (by default), the Instagram web page doesn't let me post from the browser on the PC. However, there is a very simple work-around for this which I want to share here.
Step 1: Open the Instagram web page on your PC's browser & "Inspect"
I am using Chrome, but it should work for other browsers too. On the page do right-click with the mouse, and select "Inspect".
Step 2: Reload the page
Now, on the right side, you see the source code of the web page. Yes, it looks weird, but you can ignore this. On the left, you see the simulated view of an Android or Apple device - the specific device can be selected from the pull-down menu (but it does not really matter which one you pick). This view is, however, not yet complete (it's still missing the "+" button that you need to post). The trick is to "reload" the page.
Step 3: Post
After reloading the page, you find the menu buttons at the bottom, with the "+" button in the middle.
Click on this to open the file browser from which you select the image - the rest is just like on your cell phone or tablet: resize as desired, add text, and: post!
I hope this was helpful!
