How to use these captions

  • Pick by category

    Tap a category to filter, or search a word from your video, like coffee or trip.

  • Make it yours

    Swap in a detail from your video, like the place, product or price. Specific captions get more comments.

  • Add 3–5 hashtags

    Put a few relevant hashtags after the caption so TikTok knows what the video is about.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a TikTok caption be?

One short line is usually best. The first words show on the feed, so put the hook first.

Do captions affect TikTok views?

Captions help TikTok search understand your video, and a question can lift comments. The video itself matters most.

Should I put keywords in my caption?

Yes. Use the words people would search, like “easy pasta recipe,” so the video can show up in TikTok search.
