HTML5 Tips: Add Your Instagram Feed to Your Site
Why take all those pretty photos with Instagram if you can’t show them off to as many people as possible? Luckily for Wix users, now there’s a simple way to display your Instagram feed directly on your HTML5 website.
With just a few simple steps, you can integrate your pics into your website using the Instagram add-on. Add photos from concerts to your music website, beautiful food shots to your restaurant site, before-and-after pics to your interior design site – the sky’s the limit! And the best thing? It only takes a few minutes.
How to Add Your Instagram Photo Feed to Your HTML5 Website
- In the HTML editor, click on “Add” (left menu)
- Choose “Apps”
- Choose “Instagram Feed”
- In the window that opens, click “Add to Page”
- The Instagram app is now added to your site! You can drag it to place it where you wish
- To customize your Instagram app, click on it and then on “Settings”
- In the new window that appeared, click “App Settings”
- Connect your Instagram account and enter your login information
- Below, under “Settings”, you can choose to show Likes, Comments profile info and a thumbnail grid
- Under “Colors”, you can adjust the colors of the app components to your website
That’s it!
And the awesomeness is here to see:

Hello,
If I add a video to my instagram feed, then every time I open my site, I hear the sound of that video coming from the instagram app on my site. Is there anyway I can mute those videos only on the web?

Hello!
I’d like to add an Instagram feed from a specific #tag – is that possible?
Thank you !
Hey there,
It’s not an option currently available on our Instagram app, but if you know of a way to extract the HTML code of a tag feed, you will be able to embed it using our HTML app: http://www.wix.com/support/html5/wix-app-market/apps-made-by-wix/faq/what-is-the-html-add-on
