What does the Instagram Caption Formatter do?

Instagram collapses empty lines, turning a nicely spaced caption into one block of text. The formatter replaces each empty line with an invisible Braille blank character (U+2800), which Instagram treats as content, so your spacing survives. You can use a dot instead if you prefer.

It also counts characters against the 2,200 limit, counts hashtags against the 30 limit, and previews roughly what shows before “… more”.

How to use the Instagram Caption Formatter

  1. Type or paste your caption with the spacing you want.
  2. Keep “Keep empty lines” ticked.
  3. Check the limits and preview.
  4. Copy the formatted caption and paste it into Instagram.
