Questions people ask

Can I use these captions on my own posts?

Yes. Every caption here was written for this site, so you can copy it, change it and post it on Instagram or Facebook, on a personal or a business account. Swapping in a name, a place or a detail from your photo makes it sound like you.

How long can an Instagram caption be?

Up to 2,200 characters. The feed shows only the start of a long caption and hides the rest behind “more”, so put the line that matters first.

Do these captions come with hashtags?

No. They work on their own, so you can paste one as it is. If you use hashtags, add your own that describe the photo.

How do I get more comments on a post?

Ask something people can answer in a word: a choice, a guess, a favorite. Or offer something useful, like a guide or a discount code, to everyone who comments a keyword. DMFast can then send it to each of them in a DM.
