I got a iPhone so I just sync it with iCloud to the phone. If you use Android just use Photos.

I use flickr. Usually whatever is on my Instagram is there already so I just save it to my phone from the Flickr app.

When you send the pictures to yourself, do you send them in the original format?

When you email them they get compressed. Get a dropbox acct

x2 on flickr. Flickr has a good compression algorithm. I upload to flickr and download from my iphone when I need to. I use InstaSize if I want to maintain aspect ratio on the thumbnail. I've had no issues with lossy compression.

If you have a Mac and an iPhone/iPad, you can Airdrop the entire file over to your device, and post to Instagram without quality issues.
