From Instagram URL to written caption in 3 steps
Retrieve the written caption, then copy or download it when available.
Step 1
Paste the Instagram URL
Use a supported public Instagram post or Reel URL.
Step 2
Retrieve the written caption
ViralSnap looks for the creator-written caption associated with the content.
Step 3

Written caption reference
Keep the written caption separate from the post
Separating the caption from the post makes the written copy easier to read, save, and compare without the surrounding Instagram interface.

FAQ
How do I copy an Instagram caption?
Paste a supported public Instagram post or Reel URL into ViralSnap and select Copy Caption. When the creator has written a caption and it can be retrieved, you can copy the text directly or download it for reference.
Can I download an Instagram caption?
Yes. When a written caption is available from a supported public Instagram post or Reel, ViralSnap lets you copy it or save it as a text file.
Can I copy captions from Instagram Reels?
Yes, when the public Reel contains a creator-written caption and that caption is available to the tool. The written Reel caption is different from a transcript of the spoken audio.
Does the caption include hashtags and mentions?
When they are part of the creator-written caption, ViralSnap preserves available hashtags, mentions, emoji, punctuation, and meaningful line breaks.
Is an Instagram caption the same as a Reel transcript?
No. A caption is text written by the creator for the Instagram post or Reel. A transcript represents words spoken in Reel audio. Use Reels to Text when you need spoken words instead.
Can I copy captions from private Instagram posts?
No. The Caption Downloader is designed for supported public Instagram posts and Reels. Private, restricted, removed, unavailable, or unsupported content may not return a caption.
What happens if an Instagram post has no caption?
ViralSnap shows a controlled no-caption state. It does not substitute a generic title, description, or transcript as the written Instagram caption.
