Instagram may not offer native RSS feeds, but it is still possible to generate feeds through 3rd party web applications.
Here are three options currently working as of November 22, 2016:
Queryfeed
Queryfeed creates an RSS feed for Instagram as well as Twitter, Google+ and Facebook. Visit Queryfeed, scroll down to the Instagram section, enter a username, hashtag or geo-location and hit “Search” to generate your feed. The free version caches results for 3 hours and limits RSS items to a max of 10 per feed.
Instatom
http://instatom.freelancis.net/username creates an atom feed from your Instagram account. Just replace username with the appropriate username.
RSS-Bridge
RSS-Bridge is an open-source “PHP project capable of generating ATOM feeds for websites which don’t have one.” You can set it up on your own server, or just google “rss bridge” and you’ll find several hosted installations that you can use freely.
For example, rssbridge.buddylist.co is one of the top results. Go there and scroll down to the box labeled Instagram Bridge, enter the desired username, and choose the type of feed you want. Feed options are Atom, Html, Json, Media RSS, and Plaintext. RSS-Bridge also features feed generators for a wide variety of other sites including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, YouTube and more.
You will be able to subscribe to the resulting feeds in Feedly, InoReader, The Old Reader or whatever reader you choose.
Previously listed services that no longer generate Instagram feeds: Websta, Iconosquare and Ink361.
Wow. Love this article, very straight to the point.
Author, you made my day with this.
There is also this service that transforms instagram account into atom feed http://instatom.freelancis.net/snoopdogg just add your instagram username in place of “snoopdogg”
thanks for sharing this great tip! is there anything I could do to get better picture clarity while using?
Thanks Gaspard! I added your suggestion to the post.
None of these are working anymore. Websta stopped a few weeks ago
Thanks for the heads up. I added a couple new working services above.
Hi
There’s an alternative for websta or Free-RSS-bridge and that’s work perfectly:

Thanks, Bryan! I added Queryfeed to the article.
I HAVE AN IDEA, HAVE A PLUGIN THAT TAKES THE PICTURES FROM YOUR WP BLOG AND INPUTS THEM INTO INSTAGRAM AND PINTEREST
Take a look to this Instagram RSS creator. It’s very fast. It’s on secure server. It’s free. It’s very easy (no registration). Just https://www.instagramtweet.com/rss/your_instagram_username. And when used for sharing on social networks it’s better than direct sharing from Instagram (on Twitter, it shows in the timeline the photo and a direct link). It’s InstagramTweet. –> http://www.instagramtweet.com/instagram-rss.html
This transforms instagram account into rss feed: https://www.instagramtweet.com/rss/madonna … just add your instagram username in place of “madonna”.
Just take a little php script and upload it to any server. The script leverages paging. https://browse-tutorials.com/snippet/php-instagram-rss-feed
