Write a caption with the blank lines and indents you want, then copy a version that keeps them when you paste it into Instagram. It counts against the 2,200-character limit and shows roughly where “… more” cuts in.
0 / 2,200 characters
Approximate: Instagram shows about the first two lines, or roughly 125 characters, then “… more”. The exact cut depends on the screen.

| Limit | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Caption length | 2,200 characters | Meta, Instagram Platform error codes (code 36004) |
| Hashtags | 5 per post | Instagram’s @creators announcement, 19 December 2025. Meta’s developer reference still lists 30 for posts published through its API. |
| @ tags | 20 per post | Meta, Instagram Platform error codes (subcode 2207040) |
| Before “… more” | About 125 characters or 2 lines | Commonly cited. Instagram does not publish it, and it varies with screen width. |

U+2800, the blank Braille pattern. It shows as empty space, and unlike an ordinary space Instagram does not strip it. It counts as one character toward the 2,200 limit. Some screen readers announce it as “blank” or “Braille pattern blank”, so if your audience relies on screen readers, choose the full-stop option instead.
Instagram does not document it, and the behaviour has changed between app versions. Commonly reported causes are a run of blank lines collapsing, a space at the end of a line swallowing the break after it, and spaces at the start of a line being dropped. The generator removes those causes rather than relying on the app to keep them.
As a JavaScript string length, the same count QueueBloom's composer uses for Instagram. Most emoji count as 2 that way, so the figure errs on the safe side of Instagram's limit. Spacers count as 1 each.
No. “Add to my queue” puts the caption in your QueueBloom workspace, where you can schedule it. When it is due, QueueBloom emails you the caption and a link to Instagram so you can post it yourself.
