Prompt Template

I need a scroll-stopping caption for a social media post that actually gets engagement.

The platform I am posting on is [PLATFORM:select:Instagram,LinkedIn,Twitter or X,Facebook,TikTok,Threads].

I am posting about [POST_TOPIC].

The goal of this post is [POST_GOAL:select:drive engagement and comments,promote a product or service,share valuable information or tips,tell a story or share an experience,announce something new,inspire or motivate my audience,start a conversation or ask for opinions,build personal brand or authority].

My audience is [AUDIENCE_DESCRIPTION] and they respond well to [AUDIENCE_PREFERENCE:select:professional and polished content,casual and relatable content,educational and informative content,funny and entertaining content,inspirational and uplifting content,controversial or thought-provoking content].

If I am including an image or video, it shows [VISUAL_CONTENT?].

Write 3 caption options for this post. Each should have a strong opening hook that stops the scroll, a body that delivers value or tells the story, a clear call to action, and relevant hashtags if appropriate for the platform. Make sure each option has a different angle or approach so I can pick the one that fits best. Keep the length appropriate for the platform.

About Social Media Caption Writer

Every platform has its own language. A caption that kills on Instagram falls flat on LinkedIn. A Twitter post pasted into Facebook looks lazy. Writing platform-native captions for each channel takes time most people do not have.

This prompt generates three caption options for any platform. You describe your [POST_TOPIC] and define your [AUDIENCE_DESCRIPTION] so the AI knows who you are speaking to. It writes three distinct angles so you can pick the one that fits your voice and mood.

Each option follows a proven structure: a scroll-stopping opening hook, a body that delivers value, a clear call to action, and platform-appropriate hashtags. The three variations give you different approaches to test. One might lead with a story, another with a hot take, and a third with practical tips.

Your [AUDIENCE_DESCRIPTION] shapes the tone. If your audience responds to educational content, all three options lean informative. If they prefer humor, the copy loosens up. Describe what visual content accompanies the post so the caption references your image or video naturally.

For Instagram-specific captions with hashtag strategy and length control, use the Instagram caption generator. For longer threads on X, the Twitter thread writer builds multi-tweet narratives.

Open it in the Dock Editor to draft captions across all your platforms in one place.

How to Use Social Media Caption Writer

1

Select your platform

Choose [PLATFORM] first. Each platform has different character limits, hashtag norms, and content expectations. The AI adapts format, length, and tone to match platform conventions.

2

Describe your post topic and goal

In [POST_TOPIC], explain what the post is about. Select [POST_GOAL] to tell the AI what you want the post to achieve. A post promoting a product reads differently from one starting a conversation or sharing a tip.

3

Define your audience preferences

Describe [AUDIENCE_DESCRIPTION] to set the demographic. Then select [AUDIENCE_PREFERENCE] for the content style they respond to. Professional audiences need polished language. Casual audiences prefer relatable, unfiltered posts.

4

Add your visual context

If your post includes an image or video, describe it in [VISUAL_CONTENT]. The AI references the visual so the caption and media feel connected. A caption that ignores the image creates a disconnect for the viewer.

5

Choose from the three options

Read all three caption variations. Pick the one that sounds most like you. Edit the opening hook if needed. Check that the call to action matches your actual goal. Post the winner and save the other two for future inspiration.
