When writing Instagram Reels captions, keep essential information within the first 55 characters; otherwise, it gets hidden behind the video overlay gradient.
❓ Why does Instagram remove paragraph spacing when I paste my caption?
💡 Instagram automatically strips standard line breaks (`\n\n`). Our tool embeds invisible zero-width spaces (`\u200B`) between lines to preserve your formatting.

💡 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many characters show before 'more' on Instagram Reels?
On the dedicated Reels feed overlay, captions truncate after just 55–60 characters. In the main home feed, Reels captions truncate at 125 characters.
Q: Why does Instagram strip my caption paragraph line breaks?
Instagram's text parser strips empty carriage returns. Inserting zero-width unicode spaces (`\u200B`) on empty lines prevents the app from collapsing paragraphs.
Q: What is the Instagram Bio character limit including emojis?
The hard limit is 150 characters. Note that complex emojis (such as multi-skin-tone or family emojis) can consume 2 to 4 characters each toward your total limit.
