What does “regram” mean?

“Regram” means taking an Instagram photo from another user’s account and posting it on your own account.

Think of it like retweeting on Twitter or sharing a post on Facebook. A great way to shout out other users’ content while interacting on your own account.

Unfortunately, reprogramming on Instagram isn’t as simple as downloading another user’s photo and sharing it as your own. You should ALWAYS ask permission before reprogramming. Make sure it allows the content of the original poster to be used.

If you don’t, not only will you look like a jerk (totally real term), you can also end up with an easily avoided PR nightmare.

And when you get permission to reprogram someone else’s content, always make sure you give the appropriate credit. This means including usernames in the caption of the photo.

The best way to provide appropriate attribution is to simply state it explicitly, i.e. “Photo Credit: @username”, “Credit: @username” or “Caught by @username.”

Here is an example of a good regram from our own Instagram account:

Finally, try not to edit the original photo if possible. You wouldn’t like it if someone changed a photo you took without your permission. You might hate it especially when they put their brand’s watermark on it.

If you have to edit for any reason, be sure to make it clear with the original owner of the photo when you ask for permission.

With that, let’s move on to 4 methods on how to regram on Instagram.

How to reschedule on Instagram: 5 methods

How to reprogram Instagram photo manually

Manually reprogramming an Instagram photo is the simplest method.

1. First, find a photo you want to reprogram in the Instagram app. Here’s someone who looks absolutely stylish from Generation Z heartthrob Timothee Chalamet.

2. Take a screenshot of your Timothee Chalamet picture. Crop your screenshot so that only the photo remains. You can do this with your phone’s native editing tool.

3. Then go back to your Instagram app and post the photo. Remember not to alter the photo too much with the filters (to avoid the wrath of Timothee Chalamet).

4. Then proceed to the subtitle screen and enter your title. Be sure to attribute the photo to its creator.
