About Instagram Captions
Instagram captions are crucial for engagement and storytelling. While the platform allows 2,200 characters, the way users interact with captions varies. Only about 125 characters show before the "more" link in feeds.
Great Instagram captions often include a hook in the first line, relevant hashtags, a call-to-action, and emojis to break up text. Use this counter to ensure your caption fits while maximizing impact.
