Captions people actually read
A caption should be easy to read in two seconds. The trick is to style one thing — the headline, the quote or the call to action — and keep the rest plain.
- Headline: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗼𝗮 then your story in plain text.
- Quote: ❝ 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 ❞
- Call to action: ꜱᴀᴠᴇ ᴛʜɪꜱ ꜰᴏʀ ʟᴀᴛᴇʀ ✧
Hashtags: keep hashtags in normal letters — styled hashtags are not linked or searchable.
Questions people ask
