How to Choose the Right Caption for Your Photo Dump

Writing the caption can sometimes take longer than editing the photos. If you are struggling to pick from the list above, use this mini-guide to match the text to the visual:

Match the Energy

 If you are smiling and laughing in the photo, avoid the “Savage/Petty” captions. Go for “Top-Tier Confidence” or “Self-Love.”

Consider the Platform

Instagram feeds generally tolerate longer, more “aesthetic” captions. For TikTok or Instagram Stories, stick to the Short & Minimalist category.

Read the Room

Posting a thirst trap? Go for a “Fit Check.” Posting a career update? Use “CEO Energy.” Don’t mix the signals unless you are being ironic.

The “Photo Dump” Rule

If you are posting a carousel of 5+ images that are random, keep the caption vague. The “Unbothered” category works best here because it implies your life is just naturally this cool.
