Question 1

What is the Instagram caption character limit?

Accepted Answer

Captions can be up to 2,200 characters, but only roughly the first 125 characters show in the feed before the '…more' cut — put your hook there. Bios are limited to 150 characters, usernames to 30, and comments to 2,200.

Question 2

How many hashtags can an Instagram caption have?

Accepted Answer

Up to 30 hashtags per post (in the caption or first comment). Adding a 31st makes Instagram reject the caption entirely. Most growth advice now favors 3–8 highly-relevant tags over the full 30.

Question 3

Why do my Instagram line breaks disappear?

Accepted Answer

Instagram strips line breaks when there are trailing spaces before them, and often collapses blank lines typed in the app. The fix is ending each line cleanly or separating paragraphs with an invisible Unicode character — which this tool inserts for you automatically.

Question 4

How do I add spaces between lines in my Instagram caption?

Accepted Answer

Write the caption here with normal paragraphs, then press 'Copy for Instagram'. The tool replaces empty lines with an invisible break character that Instagram preserves, so your spacing survives the paste.
