How to migrate content from Instagram to VKontakte: steps for safe data migration

Instructions on how to migrate data from Instagram to VKontakte after Instagram is blocked in Russia. Instagram is one of the most popular social platforms for sharing photos and videos, which remained among the leaders among Runet users. However, after political events in the world, Roskomnadzor blocked access to Instagram, which forced many users to look for ways to continue using the platform. VPN apps have become a popular tool for bypassing blockages and maintaining access to Instagram. But what if you're not happy with this method and want to move your content to other social networks, such as VKontakte? We'll tell you how to do it.

How to transfer content from Instagram to VKontakte

Transferring content from Instagram to VKontakte can be accomplished with a few simple steps. Before you start posting, you need to download an archive of all the data from Instagram:

1. Request a data archive from Instagram

• Open “Settings” in your Instagram account.
• Go to “Privacy and Security” and select “Request File”.
• Select the HTML data format and provide your email to receive the archive.
• Submit the request and wait for Instagram to prepare the archive. This usually takes up to 48 hours.

2. Download the archive with the data Once the archive is ready, you will receive a notification. Click “Download Info” and access the archive with your publications organized by date. However, it is worth noting that publication captions are not saved in the archive. 3- Importing data to VKontakte using Instagram Manager To transfer content to VKontakte, use the Instagram Manager tool. To do this:

• Log in to your VKontakte account.
• Connect to Instagram Manager, which allows you to import content from an archive or directly from your Instagram profile.
• For direct import, provide a link to your Instagram profile. Make sure your account is open for public viewing by turning off the “Closed Account” option in your privacy settings.
• Click “Start Uploading” and Instagram Manager will transfer all your posts to VKontakte. Choose where you want to put them - on your personal profile, in a group, or on a public page.

4. Manually transfer content If there are few photos or you don't want to transfer all the photos, you can use the manual method:

• Create publications manually in VKontakte.
• Upload photos from the archive located in the /Media folder.
• You can also add stories, riles, and videos that were in your Instagram.
• Add captions to your photos and post them to your personal profile or group. With these steps, you can easily transfer your content from Instagram to VKontakte and continue to maintain your accounts on other social networks.
