Caption shape

The first line does most of the work

In the feed, Instagram shows roughly the first 125 characters, then "more". If the first line is interesting, people tap. If it is not, the rest goes unread.

So every caption here starts with a hook, adds a line for the format (sound on, swipe), and ends with a question that is easy to answer.

HookA short first line that makes someone curious or smile.

ContextOne line that fits the format: a reel, a carousel or a single photo.

QuestionSomething easy to reply to, so comments start.

Example

A reel caption

Hook: Spent way too long on my first sourdough this week and I regret nothing.
Format: Sound on 🔊
Question: What should I try next?

Add up to 5 hashtags at the end.

Common questions

Tap a question and we'll answer it in the chat. You can also type your own.

How long can an Instagram caption be?

Up to 2,200 characters. Only about the first 125 show in the feed before "more", so put the best line first.

Should I put hashtags in the caption?

Yes. Instagram allows up to 5 hashtags per post or Reel, and the caption is the place for them. Our hashtag generator builds a set of 5 you can paste after the caption.

Why does every caption end with a question?

A question gives people an easy reason to comment. Delete it if it does not suit the post.

Are these written by AI?

They come from caption patterns we wrote and review, filled in with your words. Nothing is sent to an AI service.

Do you save what I type?

No. The tool runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
