How AI Instagram caption generators can save you hours
Instagram captions pull a lot of weight and can influence people to spend more time on your posts. But even with a good understanding of their value and how to create an impressive caption, it can be tough to write them at a high volume.
Keeping a brand Instagram account alive and thriving can require posting at least 2-3 times per day. That’s where Instagram caption generators save countless hours. Here how:
- Require little input: Often, all they need is a keyword, image or a few sentences to understand the intent of your post.
- Generate multiple ideas: With one click, you can get up to 10 different ideas with some caption generators.
- Include emoji suggestions: No need to spend time deciding which emoji to use — you’re covered!
- Generate output in different languages: If you’re not bilingual but want to reach a multilingual audience, this is priceless.
- Vary tone as needed: Witty, informative, persuasive — whatever you need, done!

How to write Instagram captions that connect with your audience
Should you write a long caption or a short one? Should you be funny or sassy? Here are some of our top Instagram caption tips and tricks.
Front-load your captions
Instagram only shows the first one or two lines of your caption, so it’s crucial to grab your audience’s attention in those first few words.
Your hook can be an incentive (e.g. 10K GIVEAWAY!) or a short thought-provoking question that your audience can empathize with.
You can also share the “Problem” or “Agitate” part of a Problem-Agitate-Solution (PAS) Framework to entice readers who may be dealing with that issue.
Vary your intent
Don’t be that brand on Instagram that’s always asking its followers to do something, but giving nothing in return. Vary your post intent.
Try alternating between the following content types:
- Inspire: An inspiring post could be anything from a quote to an aesthetically pleasing image with a short caption.
- Connect: Bond with your followers over a shared problem, share a personal anecdote, or something else to foster connection.
- Promote: This is a great time to use the PAS Framework. Highlight a pain point, agitate, and then share a solution you’ve created.
- Educate: Teach your followers a hack, share a quick tip, or share something interesting you found recently.
Break up lengthy text
Walls of text are never fun to read, especially on an easy-breezy platform like Instagram.
If readers can’t engage, they’ll keep scrolling past your posts, which is bad news for your page and Instagram’s algorithm. So break up your text and add line breaks as needed. You can do this by writing your post first on a different platform and then copying and pasting.
Do use emojis
Emojis work a bit like proper line breaks — they break up the text and bring life to your message. You can use them to express emotion or visually represent an idea. For example, using checkboxes to show that you checked something off your to-do list. So sprinkle emojis throughout your captions, while being careful not to overdo them.
Add personality
It’s okay to be human on Instagram. Despite all the filters and airbrushed selfies, there are still so many people drawn to authenticity and human nature on Instagram. So, don’t be afraid to use a conversational tone and experiment with being funny, sassy, or serious as the post demands.
Add a CTA
Marketing 101: always include a call-to-action. Depending on your post’s intent (which you should vary), your CTA could ask for responses to a question, ask readers to share something about themselves, or tell them to click a link in your bio.
Whether in the form of time spent, comments or saving, engagement heavily influences Instagram’s algorithm to keep ranking your posts. So always encourage followers with a CTA.
Use hashtags
One last thing! Hashtags are still a thing and can help Instagram users find your post and engage, especially if you use relevant ones. Finding them requires a process similar to keyword research, including identifying popular terms that aren’t too competitive and checking search intent.
Once you’ve identified the right hashtags, add them at the end of your caption or even in a new comment slot if you want to keep them out of readers’ way.
