Private by design: your files are processed on your own device and never uploaded.
How to use
- 1 Describe the post in a few words (morning yoga, new haircut, Bali sunset).
- 2 Choose a mood: inspirational, funny, minimal, question, promo or story.
- 3 Keep 'Add matching hashtags' on if you want a hashtag block appended.
- 4 Click Generate, copy the caption you like and edit the details before posting.
The first line is the whole caption
Instagram shows only the first 125 characters before the 'more' link, so the first sentence must carry the hook. Every template here puts the strongest line first: a bold claim, a question, or a surprising number. Write your own detail after it; the generated text is a frame, not the final post.
Captions that get comments
Comments weigh more than likes in the ranking. Question captions ask something a viewer can answer in one word. Story captions invite people to share their own experience. Promo captions use a comment keyword ('comment GUIDE') which also lets you automate replies. Pick the mood by what you want back, not by what sounds nicest.
Formatting on Instagram
Instagram removes blank lines in many cases. The dot-separator pattern used before the hashtag block keeps the caption readable. For real paragraph spacing, run the caption through our Line Break tool before posting.

Questions
Is this AI generated?
This free version uses proven caption templates and your keyword. An AI version that writes original captions in your voice is on the roadmap.
How long should an Instagram caption be?
Short captions (under 125 characters) work for visual posts; long captions (300-1000 characters) work for storytelling and carousels. The limit is 2,200.
Can I use these for Reels?
Yes. Reels captions follow the same rules; keep the hook in the first line because it shows over the video.
Where should hashtags go?
At the end of the caption after a few dots, or in the first comment. Both work.
Do emojis affect reach?
No direct effect, but they improve readability and are fine to use in moderation.
