Sharing another person's photo on Instagram might accomplish several goals:
However, it's important to credit the original creator when sharing someone else's content to avoid plagiarism and respect copyright laws. Instagram has features to tag and credit the original poster, ensuring proper attribution.
The easiest way to share someone else’s Instagram photo is by reposting it to your Story. In this way, you can use the Instagram official reposting function. But this way has a limitation. This Story can be only shown on in 24 hours and then it will be removed from your Instagram. If you want to permanently keep this Story on your Instagram, you can add it to the Story Highlight. You can learn how to repost on Instagram with the following steps.
Step 1. Navigate to your desired photos on Instagram.
Step 2. Click the paper plane icon under the photo and choose “Add to story” in the pop-up menu.
Step 3. Edit the photo you want to share. You can add some elements like text, stickers, and music to this Story.
Step 4. Choose “Your story” in the lower place and click the arrow icon. Then, tap “Share” to share this photo to your Instagram Story.
Step 1. Navigate to your profile and click the “+” icon in the upper-right corner. Then, choose “Story Highlight”.
Step 2. Select the story you want to add to the Highlight and tap “Next”.
Step 3. Edit the Highlight cover, name the highlight, and click “Add”. Then, you can check the story in Highlight on your profile page.
If you want to permanently post a pic from someone else’s Instagram without a Story, you can use the following 2 ways. One is by taking a screenshot of the photo and post the snapshot. Another is by downloading the original photo and posting it. But as mentioned before, you would better ask for others’ permission before posting their photos.
Step 1. Navigate to the Instagram photo.
Step 2. Screenshot the photo with the built-in feature on your device. On iPhone, you can press the Power and Volume Up buttons to take a screenshot. While on Android, press the Power and Volume Down buttons (there may be some differences between different phone brands).
Step 3. Post the screenshot on Instagram to share it.
If you prefer original quality of photos, you can choose to download the photo from someone else and then post it. Although Instagram does not give its official feature, you can take advantage of a third-party service. In this regard, MultCloud Image Saver is recommended to you. It is a built-in function of the free cloud management service, MultCloud. With Image Saver, you can save images from Instagram, website, and Google Search to the local and cloud. When you use Image Saver to download the Instagram photo, it will keep the original resolution of the downloaded photo and will not add a watermark to this photo.
Step 1. Enter the MultCloud website and sign up for an account.
Step 2. Select “Image Saver” in the left sidebar and click the “Save Instagram Images” tab.
Step 3. Navigate to the desired Instagram photo, click the 3-dot icon, and select “Copy link”.
Step 4. Back to MultCloud, enter the link in the blank, and tap “Fetch Now”. Then, put your cursor on the photos and press the downward arrow to download it.
