What makes a good caption?

A caption gives a photo a voice. The best ones are short, match the mood of the picture, and leave a little room for the viewer to feel something. A single line is often enough, and a question or a call to action can start a conversation in the comments.

Caption ideas by occasion

Confident or playful one-liners that match the photo without overexplaining.

Tips for better captions

  • Say something the photo does not already show.
  • Put the key words first, because Instagram cuts off longer captions with “more”.
  • Use one or two emoji, not a whole row.
  • Add a question when you want comments.
  • Keep hashtags at the end or in the first comment.
