30 Snapchat caption ideas for your snaps and stories

What makes a good snap caption

Keep it to one line: a few words and maybe one emoji. The photo tells the story, the caption adds the joke or the context. Place it where it doesn't cover a face, and if you have two things to say, use two bars or two snaps instead of one long sentence.

Preview a caption on a snap

Open the Snapchat generator; it starts on "Snapchat story" and the first message is the snap. Under People, type an invented name for whoever posted it. Click "Photo" on the first message to add the picture (it is cropped to 9:16), then type the caption as the message text. Every message becomes its own caption bar, so add a second message for a second line, and "+ Date / notice" for a sticker-style label.

A friend's snap shows the "Send a Chat" bar at the bottom. Post the first message "+ From me" and fill in "Views" to see it as your own story with the eye icon. Set the age in "Time", like "12m", then download the PNG at 2x or 3x.

Use it the right way

Snap mockups are for videos, sketches, content plans, app designs and lessons, with invented people. Do not put words in the mouths of real people, do not make a snap that looks like proof of something that never happened, and do not use one to bully or embarrass anyone. Our acceptable use page has the details.
