What is an Instagram caption?

An Instagram caption is a text that appears under your photo on Instagram and may include hashtags, emojis, and links. It is limited to 2,200 characters (310-550 words with spaces). In short, we use Instagram captions to describe our photos.

Remember, an Instagram post’s most engaging caption length is no more than 50 words.

A great caption can make a photo much more engaging and fun. Here are some tips for writing excellent Instagram captions:
