Free caption and hashtag generator
How to use it
- Describe what happens in the video and who it is for.
- Get one caption per app, each with a short hashtag set.
- Copy the one you need and edit it in your own words.
Why one caption per app
The three apps show captions differently. TikTok captions are usually short and conversational. On Instagram, only the first line shows before 'more', so it has to stand alone. On YouTube Shorts, the text works more like a searchable title, and YouTube shows the first few hashtags above it.
Hashtags: fewer and more specific
Hashtags help an app understand what a video is about. A short set of relevant tags is easier to keep accurate than a long block of generic ones. Tags like #fyp or #viral describe nothing about the video, so this tool leaves them out.
