creative Instagram captions

Instagram is an image-first social platform. If your photos and videos aren’t up to scratch, you’ll have a tough time achieving success.

However, even great images and videos can fall short of expectations if you’re a slouch in the Instagram captions department. The words that accompany your graphics are an important element of building a brand on the network, and especially forming a connection with fans and followers.

The great Instagram captions can add context to your posts, tell your brand’s stories, entertain the audience or encourage people to take action.

You can add up to 2,200 characters and include up to 30 hashtags in a caption.

No matter the length, the most important thing is for your Instagram captions to grab attention and be easy to read and follow.

Here, you’ll find creative Instagram captions you can model or just copy and paste directly into your own Instagram posts this summer.
