Instagram Caption Preview With “More” Cutoff

Most people only ever read the first two lines of a caption. Paste yours in and see exactly where Instagram’s “more” cutoff falls, how line breaks render, and whether your hook survives the fold.

Beat the 125-Character Fold

Instagram collapses captions after roughly 125 characters or two lines and hides the rest behind “more”. Put the hook, offer, or key context first; the preview flags openings likely to lose their point below the fold.

Format for Readability

Captions allow up to 2,200 characters and about 30 hashtags. Line breaks, emoji, and @mentions all shift where the fold lands. The field preserves your spacing so the collapsed and expanded states match what publishes.

Preview Long and Short Together

Toggle the collapsed and expanded states to compare the two-line teaser with the full text, and adjust wording until both read well on their own.
