How to embed Instagram photos and videos on your blog or website

This is great news if you’re a heavy Instagram user because now your photos can be free of the Instagram news feed and shared where they really matter most – on your blog or website.

By using the embed feature of Instagram, this allows you the opportunity to post your photos and videos on Instagram and leverage the 130 million Instagram users and then take that content and share it on your blog or website for users who aren’t on Instagram.

What can you do with photos and videos you embed on your blog or website?

While you can embed Instagram photos and videos on your blog or website, not all of the features from Instagram carryover. Here’s a rundown on what features you have when you embed Instagram content.

  • Link to the Instagram profile who posted the content
  • See how many likes and comments content received on Instagram
  • Can only embed one Instagram photo or video at a time. If you want to embed three items, this requires three separate codes
  • No ability to comment on Instagram photos or videos  – you must go to Instagram to do this
  • No ability to add hashtags on content you embed from Instagram – you must go to Instagram for this

Is there a difference embedding Instagram photos or videos?

If you want to link Instagram and Facebook Pages that you manage, all it takes is a few minutes.

Before you link Instagram and Facebook Pages together, consider these amazing stats: every 58 seconds, a photo is uploaded to Instagram, 1 new user joins Instagram every second, and 50 million+ users are already using Instagram.

If those don’t move you to link Instagram and Facebook Pages you manage together, think about it from your fans’ standpoint.

Besides posting  typical Facebook Page updates – “LIKE this post…”, we launched a new product or news about your brand, Instagram photos can be a great way to boost the quality of the content you already post to your Facebook Page.

Why link Instagram and Facebook Pages?
