It’s especially helpful for marketers, creators, or business owners who want to stay consistent without spending hours brainstorming content ideas—all without cost.

Yes, each caption is generated using advanced language models that produce original, non-repetitive content. No two users receive the exact same output. However, to make your captions feel even more authentic, we recommend adding personal touches, such as a brand voice tweak, a story snippet, or a campaign-specific message. This enhances the originality and deepens your connection with followers.

Caption length should match the platform’s engagement behavior. For example:

• Instagram: 138–150 characters is the sweet spot.
• X (Twitter): 71–100 characters drive the most interaction.
• Facebook: 80 characters is ideal for organic posts.
• TikTok: Under 150 characters is best for attention retention.

Birdeye’s AI automatically adjusts caption length based on the platform you select, ensuring you hit the optimal range for performance every time.

Instagram allows up to 2,200 characters, but longer doesn’t always mean better. Captions between 138–150 characters perform best, offering just enough information to engage without overwhelming. If you need to go longer—such as for storytelling or tutorials—break your caption into short paragraphs, use line breaks, and start with a strong hook to grab attention in the first two lines before the text is truncated.

Although Facebook supports up to 33,000 characters, best-performing posts are much shorter. For organic content, aim for around 80 characters to encourage more reads and interactions. In the case of promoted posts, stick to 5–19 words, as shorter ad copy tends to outperform longer text, especially on mobile where attention spans are limited.

On X (Twitter), while paid users can post up to 10,000 characters, most users still operate within the classic limit. The engagement sweet spot is between 71–100 characters. This length ensures your message is easy to read and share, especially in fast-scrolling feeds. Avoid cramming too much in one tweet; instead, keep it clear, concise, and action-oriented.

TikTok allows up to 2,200 characters, but shorter captions work better for engagement. Aim for under 150 characters, since users rarely pause to read large blocks of text. Your caption should support the video with context, a hook, or a CTA—preferably front-loaded with impact. Think of it as a one-line pitch to complement your content.

YouTube descriptions allow up to 5,000 characters, but only the first 100–150 characters show before “See more.” For best results, keep your main message within that range. For YouTube Shorts or community posts, aim for under 100 characters to keep it mobile-friendly and engaging.
