Free code for the first 200 posted below!
Although 6tag is the de facto Instagram app for those using Windows Phone due to its advanced and unique features, one thing it cannot do is upload pre-recorded video. Instead, users need to open the app and record directly. This limitation is problematic if you recorded a video earlier and wanted to add it to Instagram at a later date, or perhaps did not have free internet connectivity for the upload.
Today, we are excited to announce a new third-party app dedicated to this single task. It is appropriately called 'Video Upload to Instagram' and Venetasoft makes it. If that name sounds familiar, it is because they also publish the excellent Band Sensor Monitor, Find My Band, and the excellent Movie Maker 8.1.
Video Upload to Instagram
- Upload pre-recorded video from Phone, SD card, OneDrive, or any other file sharing app
- Select any 15 seconds of video (max allowed by Instagram)
- Crop any section of your video (Instagram only allows squared videos)
- Use Movie Maker 8.1 for advanced video editing
- Uploads to Instagram and videos can optionally be saved to phone too
- Adds app to Share picker, so you can hand-off video from one app to this one
- It can handle 4K videos from Lumia PureView phones with Lumia Camera 5.0
Overall, Video Upload to Instagram is a fantastic, well-done app from Venetasoft. The design is natural, there are short tutorials to guide you, and it is feature packed. Video Upload to Instagram costs $1.99 for the full version, although there is an ample trial to let you try it out.
"You can evaluate this app for an entire week, with the limitation of one upload every 24 hours and max video duration up to 10 seconds."
Oh and stay tuned, as later today, Windows Central is giving away 200 free unlock codes for this app! So grab it now as a trial and keep checking back this afternoon.
Update - Grab your code now! Use the hamburger menu in the app to select 'Unlock code'. Type in ' wpc22k' to get the app completely for free! Only the first 200 users can get it, so act fast. Afterwards, restart the app.
For those who use Instagram a lot and prefer a dedicated app for this function, this is your solution!

Video Upload to Instagram, no longer works, don't waste your time & money
None of Venetasoft's instagram upload apps have worked for a month or so now.
After speaking with the developers, they expected them to be functional again a few days after my report to them. However, that was a month ago.
All three apps, Video upload for instagram, Movie Maker+ and istagraph are not working for video upload to instagram.
They are still for sale in the store, despite being useless.
I have installed windows 10 in Lumia 535 everything is working fine but photo editing software like instagram beta unable to run always crash every software of editing....what to do now
OK I love Skype
Hi, I downloaded Movie Maker 8.1. as well as Video Upload to Instagram for my WP and I stil l can't upload videos to IG, I manage to crop them but when I want to finish the edit it just says ''encoding'' and it stays like that forever and nothing really happens, It doesn't even connect me to Instagram! Help!!!
I cant get it to work. Does the free trial not let me uploud 10 sec to instagram? i have tried so many times.
No free code for me
Hmmm, I must be too late for a free code.
Let's give it a whirl.
I wont pay for such a feature, that's completely free on the native app on other platforms. Doesn't make sense. It just shows how desperate we users need essential free features on native apps on other platforms but need to invest. At this rate more and more users will jump to Android and IOS. MS you are doing something wrong, rather fund these developers and provide us through them with third party apps that has feature functionality as other platforms. You guys are depending too much on third party app developers that's ripping us off.
Cool ! Just make Instagram better.
the code does not work on my 1520 windows 10 tp
when i press Verify nothing happend!!?
It seems that insulting the customers is easier than solving the problems.
This is the mail I've received after complaining for App crashing and draining the battery: "
Your phone is the problem my friend...Or Your brain, as u wrote here instead of to My support email.
By Venetasoft™.
Nice to Hear we are answering the questions on our face. . !!
Wait world. . We Are Coming. .!
Sold out... Sigh... :'(
Fantastic, this I'm excited about
Plz got it for free :'(
Wonder when will free upload of videos to instagram will actually be free on windows like the native app lol im still going to wait to see if we get codes smh it is harsh and unfair alotta users have lost out due to time diff and not been able to read the articles on time.
See that there was an update on it this morning but it still doesn't work on my 830
So I can't get a code, and presumably most of the other 90 users above me? Harsh.
Code?
waiting for 6tag update for free uploads videos to instagram
Great
Codeeeeee
Damn, stupid thing wouldn't connect. By the time it did the codes had sold out.
I use Movie maker. It does the same
I'm hardly posting videos on IG, so dont really need the feaure but Rudy's work is still my go to app. not changing it.
Thank you for this important feedback.
Problem to access the Store :(
UK users just got screwed
Yep deffo damn time difference!!
Me want
Doesn't let me upload video on my lumia 830 (full denim) ..app tell me to tap on "+" to get started but it looks like that "+" button is gone numb for me..tried re-installation but same issue.
Spoke with developer. He is aware of the issue and is on top of it.
Update is coming, solved :) !!!
Thanks :)
Missed it
Woo-hoo! Can I get a code too?
This is great news!
sold out :(
i missed :(
that was the best UI i ever saw in an app :(
wish it was mine forever :(
Gime gime
Sold out already. Oh well.
This was 20 minutes after the article update.
Nooooo sold out. My only hope is that venetasoft allow the option to users that bought the movie maker plug in to get this app for free, because here in Venezuela we recently were limited by the government in the use of our credit cards to buy online by a new regulation and I may take me about 8 months to be able to buy stuff online.
He does, email him for a code. He gave me one, but this app doesn't work and isn't compatibly for Lumia 720.
Will be with next update (new features too !!!)
"sold out"
Any codes still available?
Not able to upload video stuck in uploading
Please try a soft-reset, maybe there is too much bakground activity (I had this issue testing on L520 too).
I want one!
I want one!
Missed it. Good app anyway.
Dont even use instagram, but j downloaded the app. Lol don't plan using it either. Used one of the free codes though ;)
Congratulations! People must love you because of this!
Venetasoft. I don't use instragram, but I thank you! Thanks for supporting WP with quality apps.
code please! :)
Code please!!!
Nice!!!
Very cool. Think this will be a very useful app.
It's unfair! To let 200 get a code what about the rest of us by the time we get here promo is finished :( No hate ventasoft is great and keeping the OS alive much respect. But the promos are unfair to those who didn't have the time to read updates on wpc.
Yeah...I was watching for the article to be updated all day since it was posted, had to go teach a class and come back an hr later and article is updated and all codes used up. :\
Ya. Me too feel the same. By the time I read the article after waking up at morning, here in India, all codes were sold out. So what should we do? Make the app free for those who bought movie maker 8.1 from VenetaSoft
Lol developers won't understand like I said in previous posts we the only OS users that pay for native app experience. MS must invest in these developers so the app is completely free and pay them. I think MS is going to lose this war, this is not wise. This platform is for those who wanna make some hard cash from us since we huge MS fans. Smh MS knows their is a serious app gap and apps drives the OS. But they will only concentrate on their in house apps
Windows central you are the best thx for the code
Am I too late??
Yes
Sold out
Damn just saw the promotion and I missed the sale f k !
Free code
Noice! Want!
Dang... Missed it, sold out! Awesome looking app though... Love that gyroscope effect on the montage screen! :D
Hey! Is this free code thing still working?
Nope its already finished too quickly. 200 codes is way to less for this forum should of left it open for an hour or something. Theirs millions of us on windows phone.
I've already buyed The upload plugin on movie maker 8.1. With this app, i have to purchase again?
Missed both codes so far the plugin for movie maker previously and this one due to been late! Otherwise I am up to date. Time zone differences.
199 here?
Awh shit, missed it
Just stumbled upon the article whole resting Code? Whole world won't see this article and get a code some of us in diff time zones and need rest.
yup it's sold out
Sold out! :D
That's great about this app!
Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
Codes? I want a code.
Free code?
Hmmm..... Video upload sounds good.
Yes!!!
very nice app
Damn I don't have any videos on my new 830 to test this out with. Ooh where's my cat? Lol.
.
Please see previous post about the L830 workaround
Yeah I saw that. Thanks.
In the meantime, just open the video from your phone, then click the "share" menu, and choose "Video Upload to Instagram" from the list.
I won't worry about it though,I'll support you and buy the full version;)
Thanks to both parties! Unlocked mine :)
Yeeessss!!! I got it! Thanks Windows Central, thank u Daniel!!
Thank you Windows Central and Venetasoft! Got the app unlocked.
Awesome. Thanks for code
Thanks for the free code! Unfortunately that + button doesnt work.
0.... :S
It seems an issue that affects Lumia 830 models only (Very strange):
I'm investigating, I'll publish an update just to see if I found the mistery...
In the meantime, just open the video from your phone, then click the "share" menu, and choose "Video Upload to Instagram" from the list.
Just missed the code already sold out. Thanks for Venetasoft for your Windows phone support.
It effected my 820 also.
Got it! I love getting free stuff!
Just got mine, cheers WPC #doingasolid
I want a free code!
Finally able to upload prerecorded videos on Instagram Thnx for the app @ventasoft
And thnx for the code
42...
Hey guys, I cannot get the "+" to upload a video to respond. The hamburger button, and every other button work, except the + to upload. Using a Lumia 830, any ideas?
Read two posts up
Thanks for your speedy response! Look forward to the update, and glad there is a workaround! Cheers!
Hey, just so you know that workaround does not work either as you have to hit a button that looks like a checkmark, where the + is, and am unable. That being said, look forward to the fix, and thanks for the code
the entire "circle" is clickable, it works on all other Lumia :O !!!
A test update is arriving in next hours guys, fixing the white theme issue too.
I must be the unlucky one haha tried several times! Nothing seems to respond. Oh well will wait for update! Thanks again
Thank you for the code!!!
Also the hamburger button and every other button work properly. Just cant hit the + sign to starr
Got it for free!
Got it for free. Yay!!!!
:*(
Having problems with this app, I have the full version using the code. Using a Lumia 830. When I hit the "+" to get started nothing happens. Tried closing and re opening and same thing. Anyone else having this issue?
Yeah. Me too. L830.
Lumia 830 incredibly has an issue with that button...I m publishing a fix, in the meantime, just open the video and select the app from the "share" list ;)
Sounds good thanks again!!
That doesn't work me either :(
Me too. Lumia 830. Maybe it needs real Denim to work! :(
If I hit the + a bunch of times it eventually works. Weird.
I'm going back to iPhone •¥•
-
No please, write me I ll give you all the unlock codes you want but don't do it...
LOL I want one too .
Otherwise , I'll move to another platform {sarcasm}
Hey guys, I am write a blog about upcoming app developer companies and I would love to write a piece on Venetasoft, whether you guys have an unlock code for me or not. But if you do i won't say no!
Thanks Team at Venetasoft!
Ive just paid for the app after downloading the trial which never worked.
it now tells me to install again and has confirmed I have paid , now it sends me to the buy now screen
does not work , should i uninstall and do again or can you email me a code please robbie@robbiemerritt.com
Thank you
Awesome got it free. Thanks Venetasoft & Windowscentral!!!!

I can't get it,dumb error code :*(
Thanks for the code, great app. Finally able to upload videos to instagram!
am i too late? haha
nah, but i probably just barely got it in
80 remaining!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Missed it! Dang, I always miss the free codes.
Such a good guy though, giving it away for free. This guy truly cares about Windows Phone and bringing the quality apps to us users. We're lucky to have developers like you.
Hello
Got it !!!
Got it! :) Thanks WPC!
Awesome app!! And thanx for the code guys...u really rock!
Too fast guys...110 remaining :-o !!!
Owned !• !
Oh yes
Thanks
I want it!!!
If it says error c101a003.does it mean I can't get it?

Yoooo... Downloaded..
I'll gladly take an unlock code. :) Always glad too see dev support.
Nice I got it. Thank you!!
Got if free. Thank you!
Thanks for the free unlock code guys! :-)
Thank you! got it in time =)
Dang! Wanted this type of app for a loooooonnnnnngggggggg time!
Great app
Free code!!
All I need is for this app to do video collages and I will be able to get my wife off my back!
I'm working on it ;)
The publishing process is totally blocked at 0%, then nothing happens... Really don't know what to do, could someone help me please :) ?
Please try a soft reset, it could be caused by too much background activity (on 512MB ram only).
Good job Venetasoft!!! Glad to see a seperate app instead of just the plugin! I hope there is future support to add cropped and wide format video just like the plugin! :)
Yes, and not only, I'm adding some new goodies right now :)
Windows store sucks,
After SD card support, some apps still doesn't allow to install it,
Lack of official apps on store,
And the third party apps are having price,
And the games which windows users are playing now its been played by Android and iOS a years ago,
That's why windows is always behind iOS and Android.
Venetasoft makes good apps.
Awesome! ^^
Awesome.....it feels so good that we are getting all the missing features by some brilliant developers. Way to go !
The + button is not responding on my 830 uk
I have the save problem
Can you write me at support@venetasoft.it? I would like you to enter my beta program to fix this strange issue.
I have tried the soft reset. I figured out the problem I have to tap just below around the edges of the plus button.
Ok, will do. Thanks.
You aren't alone. My 830 doesn't work properly either. I bought the app right away, the + and the check mark just can't be activated worth a damn. I have practically put my finger through the screen. So uninstalled and reinstalled it along with a soft reset and now it wants me to buy it again. Not thrilled actually.
Not working for me on trial. Can't even add a video. I have Lumia 830 on at&t.
+1
Have you tried with a soft reset ? Please write me at support@venetasoft.it.
I tested with 930, 1520, 1020, 925, 920, 630, 520 ao the app should be quite solid...
Wow this app is so pretty and useful! Grazie, Venetasoft!
Edit: Unlocked it via the code and rated it 5 stars already. Stellar App.
Yes i am so happy .
Venetasoft+Rudy Huyn Snapchat RIVAL app for WP! Who's with me?
Windows: the only platform where you have to use two third party Instagram apps, one paid, to equal the capability of the free official one on iOS.
Any 20-something picking up a Lumia and gets a load of that, will drop the phone like a hot potato.
I rarely use instagram and very unlikely to upload vids, but just bought this because happy that it's been made. Thank you
Grabbing it for on the occasion I upload to Instagram. Thanks Dev.
Yay! I just discovered DumbSmash (that's the WP app's name) a couple of days ago so now I have a great way to display my "creativity."
Must you write graffitti on the walls?
In context of, DumbSmash does not upload to Instagram the way that I assume the official Dubsmash app does. No graffiti intended, sir.
Waiting for unlock code i can't buy
Very nice app
After encoding, nothing happen...help pls
Lumia 535
Have you tried a soft reset ? Works perfectly on 630 (512MB)
I don't think it's possible to send Direct Messages. Or is it? Anyway thanks for spending your time developing this app. Much needed for WP users. It would be perfect if this app and Rudy's app joined. It's up to the developers. Waiting for the unlock codes, if I don't get one, I'll buy it for sure :)
I appreciate the work done by developer but it's sad that we have to pay for something that's supposed to be free( I meant by official instagram app). Maybe if official apps were completely function developers would focus more on "more than necessary" features. Again I appreciate and congratulate developer for his work but apps like this remind me how ignored our platform still is.
This works flawlessly
That's a app that I was looking for!!! :)
Rudy had the ability to put this in earlier, this is what happens when you wait until wp10. Good job, we've been asking for this for awhile.
Rudy's app was developed in Silverlight. There is an SDK limitation to trim videos so he has to wait until the new universal app is released. They are not in competition. The creator of Movie Maker 8.1 and the creator of 6tag are on good terms and have met each other.
Movie Maker 8.1 can do that, right?
