Make Reel captions clear and easy to place

Use the phone preview to set the text size and height before you make the real video preview.
- Made for tall, phone-size videos.
- Add an optional color box behind the text.

Common questions
Where should captions sit on a Reel?
Use the Caption Position slider to keep text away from the bottom buttons and the top account name.
Can I put a box behind Reel captions?
Yes. Add a caption background color when the video changes from light to dark.
Do I need to connect Instagram?
Upload a video file from your phone or computer. You do not need to link an Instagram account.
