What is an Instagram Caption?
Instagram captions are a written description or explanation of your photo. When you publish a new post, you have a text box where you can enter your quotes, questions, describe what you're doing now, or tell a story in one sentence. Captions can also include emoticons, hashtags or tags.
Why Instagram captions are important
Cool text will attract attention to your photos, and your profile on social networks will become popular (which means more subscribers, likes, comments...). We also advise you to update your WhatsApp profile, and for this we have prepared statuses for WhatsApp, short and meaningful.
To see more frequently asked questions about Instagram, just scroll to the end of the article. Now it’s time to look at examples and options for signatures for all occasions.
Create a post in the community
The process of creating and setting up a post in a group or community is not much different from the process of publishing on the wall of a personal page. You can post a post either in your community or in someone else’s group, provided that the community settings allow publications from ordinary users.
Go to the group and find the block for creating a new publication. Click on the field that says “Write something...” and type your message. Add images, music, videos or any other attachments. Select a publication time and configure settings.
When you post to a community that you're an admin of, there are some additional options that aren't available in someone else's group. Hover your cursor over the gear icon and check the box next to “Publish on behalf of the community.” If you do not do this, the entry will be posted on your behalf and not on behalf of the group. Once you check the box, additional options will become available:
- Ability to turn comments on and off.
- Make an author's signature. This option becomes relevant if there are several administrators in the community.
- Disable notifications about likes, reposts and comments.
- Marked “This is an advertisement.” This marking allows you to separate advertising posts in your community from content ones.

Frequently asked questions about captions for Instagram photos
How many characters should an Instagram caption have?
The maximum number of characters in an Instagram caption is 2200 characters. It's about 330 words, give or take. This is enough to briefly describe the photo or tell a mini story about your photo.
Note that most people don't like to read long captions, so few people use all 330 words to describe their photos. In addition, only the first three lines of sentences are visible to users.
People are interested in seeing photos and videos on Instagram, but they only read long captions from popular bloggers or celebrities. Therefore, your goal is to create an interesting, catchy caption in the first three sentences.
Which signatures are better, long or short?
Long Instagram captions attract more users and potential clients. Therefore, if you want your photos to attract more attention, make a good and long caption. Just make sure it's beautifully written and matches the image.
How to come up with captions for photos on Instagram
Collect Photo/Video Information: This involves collecting data about the photo, such as where, when and why the photo was taken. Is there any special motive behind this photo? Also ask yourself, what is happening in the photo? Express it accordingly without exaggeration. Use geo-tags if necessary!
Research the interests of users and subscribers. Do your users and followers like inspirational quotes or are they more into jokes? Maybe they are more likely to comment on posts with captions of hard facts and information that they use as a guide?
Write the perfect signature! Once you've gathered the information, you may already have an idea of what to write. Now try to think of it as a short story and write it down in one sentence. Then check for any necessary grammatical and spelling errors.
Good captions take a lot of time to create. But the more often you write them, the easier it will be for you to create them. Rest assured that you will definitely master the art of writing good signatures. The secret to creating catchy Instagram captions is to write several options first and then choose the best one.
How to make catchy captions for Instagram photos
1). Make the most of the first sentence.
Instagram condenses your caption down to three or four lines, so include all the important details at the beginning. Only the first sentence will be displayed in the user's feed. So make sure it is compelling and promotes the best user engagement.
2). Call to action to increase engagement.
Use action verbs to motivate people to do something. For example, a signature in the form of a request: “Tap twice if you find this funny.” Or ask a personal question to encourage more comments on your post. H&M: “Everything you need for a weekend getaway. Where would you go?
Another great call to action is to ask your followers to tag their friends in the comments section of your post. It's a day of fun! Tag friends you want to have fun with."
Not only will a call to action build a stronger sense of community on your Instagram account, but it will also provide positive metrics for the Instagram algorithm, leading to more reach for your post.
Most importantly, try to keep your calls fun, simple, and encourage as much interaction as possible. Also, don't put a call to action at the end.
3). Description of the photo with useful information.
It is important that the information you provide is valuable and grabs the reader's attention. For example, you are currently traveling through a beautiful national park.
Let people know how you got there, how much the entrance fee is, the best places to visit, the best places to eat, and so on.
4). Line breaks in longer captions.
This simple way of using spacing and formatting is great for breaking up long captions without scaring off your followers. Formatting and breaking it down into short paragraphs will make the information easier to digest.
5). Use emojis along with text.
Emojis will add a personal touch to your Instagram caption. There are many different ways to use emoji in your messages. For example, you can use them at the beginning of your message to grab people's attention. In the middle of sentences to replace words or at the end of a message as a kind of “punchline”.
Are hashtags necessary and how to use them?
Not only will hashtags help you gain more followers on Instagram, but they are also a great way to connect with customers, find content your followers have created about you, and build long-term relationships with affiliates!
Hashtags help organize and categorize photos and video content. This means Instagram knows when to show your post to viewers who search the hashtag or view the Explore page.
For example, when uploading a food photo to Instagram, you can use the hashtags: #supersmoothie, #pizzatodonado, or #vegandish.
The most popular hashtags on Instagram are simple words. Narrowly niche and branded hashtags are also good.
Warning: Use hashtags sparingly, limiting yourself to three or four. So that a larger number is not considered spam.
Settings before publishing
Creating a post is very simple. It’s much more difficult to design and customize it so that it captivates your audience and gets a lot of likes. Design is a topic for a separate article, but we’ll deal with a few settings right now.
There are several options in the settings that will help you adjust your privacy, commenting, and posting time settings.
Privacy. By default, the post you publish will be visible to everyone who has access to your page. To limit your audience to friends only, click on “Visible to everyone” and check the box next to “Friends Only.”
Commenting. You can completely disable comments on your page in your privacy settings. But if you need to limit the ability to comment on only one post, then this can be done right before it is published. Just hover over the gear icon and check the box next to “Turn off comments.”
Notifications. To avoid receiving notifications about every like, comment, and repost, check the “Do not send notifications” option. It's hidden under the gear icon, just like the option to turn off comments.
If you often publish new articles, and your friends and subscribers react very actively to them, then it is better to turn off notifications in advance in the privacy settings of the page.
It is not necessary to publish the article immediately. VK has a delayed posting function.
Summarize
We've covered the basics of creating captions and captioning Instagram photos themselves. What have we learned?
- An Instagram caption is the text you post underneath your photo. The text can be short, long, funny, in the form of a question or call to action, but not beyond 2200 characters.
- What to write in the signature? What to write and how is up to you, the main thing is that the first few lines are catchy, so it is more likely that the user will open the entire description and read it.
- Is it difficult or not to come up with a caption for a photo on Instagram? In fact, writing text under a photo is quite simple. All you have to do is think a little creatively, get attention, and let people know what they need to do.
- Decide in advance what tone you want to give to your signature. Do you want to share a heartfelt mini story with your readers or do you want to make someone laugh? Once you determine the tone you want to write in, you can come up with caption ideas that best capture the spirit of the photo. After that, write several options and choose the best one.
Also in this article we have collected various signature options that are suitable for all occasions. And remember, you can just copy and paste them under your photos. Free of charge!
If you found interesting captions for yourself and find the article useful, then leave your comment below. This way you will appreciate our work.
What is different about publishing a new post in a group?
All the same tools are available here. You can pin a post, add content and emoticons. But there is no option to add a product to this list. This is done differently in communities.
The main difference is that you can add a signature and advertising tag to the post. If this is a group, then it is possible to post on its behalf. There is no such function on public pages. If you need it, you can transfer the public page to the VKontakte group.
If we want to publish via phone, then the only available functions will be to select the author of the publication.
Selecting the author of the publication
Don't forget that you can always pin a post to your wall so that it appears at the top of your list of posts. And you can offer your posts in the group. If the administration approves them, they will appear among the available content.
