How to use the caption formatter
Instagram often removes blank lines from captions, squashing your paragraphs together. This formatter keeps your spacing by adding an invisible character on empty lines, and counts characters, words, hashtags and mentions as you type.
Paste or write your caption, with blank lines where you want spacing.
Check the counters and the feed preview to see how it will look.
Copy the formatted caption and paste it straight into Instagram.
Questions people ask
Why does Instagram delete my line breaks?
Instagram trims empty lines and trailing spaces. A blank-looking Unicode character on each empty line keeps the gap in place.
Will the hidden character show up?
No. It's a blank Braille character that looks like empty space on every phone and browser.
What's the Instagram caption limit?
2,200 characters and 30 hashtags. The counter here warns you before you go over either.
