How to use the Instagram Caption Formatter
Write your caption with normal line breaks. The formatter keeps paragraphs readable, counts characters against Instagram's 2,200-character limit, counts hashtags and mentions, and shows how the opening line will look before the "… more" cut.
Caption tips
- Put the hook in the first line — most people never tap "more".
- Use a handful of relevant hashtags rather than filling the limit.
- End with a clear call to action: save, share, comment or visit the link in bio.
