In this article, you’ll learn how to edit each of these four categories with step-by-step instructions.

Don’t worry; you can fix your Instagram mistakes faster than you can say, “No one saw that!”

Let’s get to it! ✏️

How Do You Edit The Caption, Location, Tags On An Instagram Post?

First things first. If you’ve messed up your location or tags or need to know how to edit your Instagram caption, here’s the way to fix them:

how to edit your instagram caption - tap the three dots on the right
Tap the three dots at the top right.
how to edit your Instagram caption - select edit from the drop down menu
Find Edit on the menu.
how to edit instagram photos - Edit your post info such as location, tags, alt text and caption. Click done when you're finished!
Edit your caption, tags, Alt Text or location by tapping each.
  • Find the Instagram photo you want to edit
  • Tap the three dots at the top right of the photo
  • Tap Edit on the drop-down menu that appears
  • Press the detail you want to edit. You can make changes to:
    • Instagram photo tags (bottom left)
    • Instagram Alt Text (bottom right)
    • Location (Top Left)
    • Caption
  • When you’re finished, press Done (iOS) or the checkmark (Android).

But wait! There are a few things to keep in mind when you’re editing your caption, especially if you’re trying to fix formatting or line breaks!

If you’ve posted your caption and it’s one wall of text, you can add spaces to your caption by hitting the return key after each paragraph.

Just make sure you remove any hidden spaces after the punctuation at the end of your sentences, or Instagram will ignore your line break!

You may even have to remove an emoji (at the end of your sentence) in order to get it to work.

Sound annoying? It is. There’s good news though!

You can avoid formatting issues entirely by using the caption tool in Tailwind for Instagram! Our formatting tool allows you to add a clever caption and select your favorite emojis with ease from the Emoji Picker keyboard.

It also automatically removes the pesky space that appears after emoji on your smartphone keyboard.

Not only that, but our caption tool also preserves your line breaks!

Well, unless you hit the Space key after the end of your line! ⛔️

Can You Edit A Picture On Instagram After Posting It?

You may be searching the web, desperately trying to find out how to edit Instagram photos after posting.

Here’s the bad news – you can’t. Unfortunately, you have one shot to add the right filter, crop or adjust your photo before it goes live. Instagram doesn’t currently support any features to edit your Instagram photos after you post.

If you’ve messed up your favorite photo before sending it to your feed, your best bet is to delete and re-upload.

Make sure to copy and paste your caption before you do this, so you don’t lose all your hard work – and hashtags!

I’m sorry we don’t have better news here. To cut down on room for error, make sure to edit your Instagram photos thoroughly before posting.

Can You Add A Photo To An Existing Post?

So, can you add photos to an Instagram post after you’ve posted it? No, you can’t. Unfortunately, this capability isn’t available on Instagram OR in Facebook Creator Studio yet (although it’s certainly been requested!)

Missed out on adding a key photo or video to your latest carousel post?

You’ll want to delete or archive the post as quickly as possible and re-upload the correct series.

Pay close attention to each frame and swipe through a few times to double-check before you post!

This will help you keep track and catch mistakes before they go live.

How to Hide Hashtags on Instagram (4 Hashtag Hacks!)

Did you know that Instagram marketers who use nine or more hashtags per post get more than 2.5x the engagement of those who only use one hashtag?

Without a doubt, hashtags are critical to building followers and engagement and contribute to your entire marketing strategy. However, they can make your feed look unappealing and spammy.

So how do you keep your Instagram feed pretty and clutter-free? EASY! After finding the perfect set of hashtags for your post, learn how to hide hashtags with one of the four simple methods below.

Should You Hide Instagram Hashtags?

There’s no harm in hiding your Instagram hashtags to neaten things up. Whether you put your hashtags in your caption directly or move them to the first comment, your content will still appear in hashtag discover feeds if relevant to the hashtag topic.

So, there is no need for concern as you’re pondering how to lower your hashtags on Instagram. It’s just a matter of choosing the right method for you!

Which one works better, Caption or Comment?

We understand that looks are not everything; sometimes, you want to do what is best for your content. So which one is better? Which one gives you more visibility? Our teammates Alisa Meredith and Melissa Megginson took over YouTube to give you answers. Take a look!

Now that you’ve made up your mind, keep reading, we’ll give you some hashtag hacks on how to make the most out of them!

Hashtag Hack #1: Hide Hashtags on Instagram in the First Comment

The cleanest method to hide hashtags on Instagram is by tucking them into the first comment. Just have your list of hashtags ready to go, and add them as a comment after making your post live.

Does this sound too manual for your liking? Tailwind does the work for you!

When you add hashtags to your Instagram caption in Tailwind, you’ll see a checkbox to hide your hashtags in the first comment. This allows you to move your hashtags from the end of your caption to the first comment on the post.

That’s it! No more cluttered captions, no more remembering to return to a post and add your hashtags. Your post is ready for engagement the moment it goes live!

Here’s how to hide Instagram hashtags with Tailwind:

Now, doesn’t that make you look professional!?

Hashtag Hack #2: Use the Instagram Dots Method to Hide Hashtags

One of the classic methods of hiding hashtags is Instagram dots.

This is a cuter way of saying adding a series of periods between the end of your caption and your hashtag list so that they’re hidden beneath the “More” button for your followers.

Here’s how to do it:

  • Type up your caption
  • After the punctuation at the end of your last sentence, make sure there are no spaces. Then hit return
  • On the new line, put one period, and then hit return again
  • Keep repeating until you have plenty of Instagram dots between your caption and your hashtag list
  • Paste in your hashtags and press publish!

It’s really important to make sure that you don’t include any extra spaces at the end of your sentences or after each Instagram dot. If you do, it will cancel out the line break and ruin the effect!

It used to be necessary to type out your caption with the line breaks on a separate word processing app like Notes. But now Instagram allows you to form line breaks in your caption directly through the Instagram app! Just click the “123” at the bottom left of your phone’s keyboard and tap “return” to jump to a new line.

Hashtag Hack #3: Hiding Instagram Hashtags in the Caption

Looking for tips on how to put your hashtags lower on Instagram captions?

There IS a way to put your hashtags in your caption while keeping your posts and feed looking good, and it works similarly to the Instagram dots method.

Simply format your caption so that it adds line breaks, pushing your valuable hashtags into the “more” section of the caption where they still do their job of increasing reach and engagement, but aren’t easy to see!

Remember, take out any extra spaces lingering after the punctuation at the end of your line breaks. It also includes after emojis in your captions!

As with the dots method, you can type out the caption with the line breaks directly on Instagram now. But just remember that any hidden spaces will cancel the line break.

Did you know? You can also compose captions with hidden hashtags in Tailwind! Just copy and paste in your caption and formatting, and then use Hashtag Finder to find the best hashtags for your Instagram post. 

Here’s a Tailwind hack that makes this incredibly simple and quick:

Use Tailwind’s Instagram Hashtag Lists to Hide Your Hashtags

Tailwind’s Hashtag Lists make hiding hashtags on Instagram captions unbelievably easy.

From Tailwind’s Instagram publisher, create a “Hashtag” list which in this case will actually store ONLY your formatting:

  1. In the Tailwind Instagram Publisher, click on the “#” button
  2. Now click the  “+” button. I called mine, “formatting.”
  3. Add line breaks and characters, symbols, or emojis on each line. In this hashtag list, I included a camera emoji, and then double asterisks, each on their own line. This will add a camera emoji to the end of my caption and then insert line breaks with asterisks on them to move my hashtags down and out of view!

The important thing to note is that you need to have SOMETHING on those lines in order to sustain the line break for publishing. You could use a dash, some ellipses, or an emoji, but make sure there is nothing else on that line (no spaces following the characters) or the line breaks will disappear when you post to Instagram, even if it looks fine in the Instagram scheduler.

Now you have a handy template that will save you time every time you schedule a post – AND keep those hashtags out of sight!

Type your caption, add your “hashtag” list plus hashtag recommendations or your premade hashtag list, and post!

Hashtag Hack #4: Add Conversational Hashtags in Your Caption, Hide the Rest

Here’s a method on how to hide Instagram hashtags that make your post look spammy but keep the ones that create fun conversation.

Hashtags have been around so long that sometimes it just makes sense – and can feel a bit playful – to include them in the conversation!

With Tailwind’s Hashtag in first comment feature, only the hashtags at the END of your caption will be moved to the first comment.

So, go ahead and include some in the caption just for fun.

Hashtag Hack #5: Use Tailwind to Find, Hide Hashtags & Schedule Instagram Posts!

When it comes to hiding Instagram hashtags, do you prefer to put them in your caption or first comment – or a bit of both?

Now that you know how to hide hashtags on Instagram, grab a free trial of Tailwind for Instagram.

How to Change Fonts on Instagram (Captions + Bio)

Change Instagram font options in Tailwind on Purple background

Do you feel like your Instagram captions lack a little something these days?

Wish there was a way to quickly grab your reader’s attention OR help them skim your caption copy for the main points?

Great news – there is, and the secret is a quick Instagram font change!

Let’s take a look at how some of our favorite Instagrammers are making the most of different fonts for Instagram in their captions – and how you can put our new Instagram font changer tool to work!

What Font Does Instagram Use?

Curious what the signature Instagram text font is? This Sans Serif typeface is the immensely popular Proxima Nova, created by Mark Simonson in 2005.

If it looks familiar, it probably is. Proxima Nova is the most popular commercial font on the web and can be found on thousands of websites.

Where Do Those Cool Fonts for Instagram Come From?

If you’ve poked around at all while trying to change your font on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed there aren’t other fonts readily available on the platform. 

And if you’ve spied cursive fonts or funky bubble letters across tons of profiles, you may be already clued in that the types of Instagram fonts you can actually use are limited.

The reason for this is simply that they’re not other fonts at all. 

The stylistic letters and symbols you’re seeing in Instagram captions and bios are actually Unicode characters. 

Poke around Insert Symbols or Special Characters in a word processor doc, and chances are you’ll come across part of or all of the thousands of unique symbols in Unicode.

We won’t dive into the technical specifics here, but suffice it to say, some of these symbols (and in some cases, entire alphabets) can be used in your Instagram bio or caption for a unique look!

One example of supported Unicode symbols that can be used for Instagram font options are:

  • Ⓑⓤⓑⓑⓛⓔ ⓛⓔⓣⓣⓔⓡⓢ

There are also tons of ϝαɳƈყ ıŋʂɬąɠཞąɱ ₣Ø₦₮ [̲̅o][̲̅p][̲̅t][̲̅i][̲̅o][̲̅n][̲̅s] if you know where to look (don’t worry -we’ll help!)

How to Get Different Fonts On Instagram 

You can use these different fonts on Instagram in a few different places, including in your Instagram captions, your Instagram bio and in your Instagram Stories!

We’ll walk you through how to change each below:

How to Change Fonts on Instagram Posts

You can grab any type of Instagram font you want to use in your caption from an Instagram font generator tool like LingoJam. Simply type in the phrase you want to display in a unique font and copy and paste it into our caption!

A word of caution here: a lot of fancy Instagram fonts are hard to read – especially in a long caption. 

That’s why our Tailwind caption font formatting tool gives you four style options that are the easiest to read on the platform while still making your caption uniquely yours!

Here’s how to get different fonts on Instagram with Tailwind’s Instagram planning tool:

  1. Log in to Tailwind for Instagram on your desktop 
  2. Upload your post photo, OR select an existing photo you want to edit!
  3. Begin typing your caption
  4. Select from the different fonts for Instagram in the pop-up. You can choose Serif, Cursive, Bold and Italic.

You can also combine some styles together, such as Bold + Italic, Bold + Cursive, and even Bold, Italic + Times New Roman for all kinds of fancy letters.

You’re not limited to one style for your entire caption, either! You can use any style in any part of your caption except Hashtags. Just click the different fonts you’d like to use on Instagram as you’re typing!

See? We told you it was the easiest way to change your font – no pesky generator or Instagram caption formatting web tool required.

How to Change Instagram Bio Fonts

The Instagram bio is definitely the place where unique Instagram fonts shine. If you’re wondering how to change the font in your Instagram bio, it’s really easy – especially with the feature built into Tailwind’s Instagram scheduling tool!

You’ll need to change the font on your Instagram bio via desktop. It takes just two steps:

Step One: Open Tailwind For Instagram on Desktop

To get different fonts on Instagram, you’ll need to work in an existing draft – or upload a new post to get started.

Now open your draft and type the message you want to put in your Instagram bio (in the font of your choice!)

Once you’ve formatted your new font change for Instagram bio to perfection, select the stylish text you’ve typed and hit copy (Command + C/ Control + C)!

Step Two: Open Instagram for Desktop to Update Your Bio

The secret to how to change Instagram fonts in your bio is really as simple as a quick copy and paste! Once you’re in the Instagram app for desktop, head over to your Instagram Profile >Edit Profile.

Drop your newly-minted Instagram bio font into the Bio textbox. You can do one sentence, or the whole thing!

Just remember that you’ll have to type the complete text in our caption formatting tool to paste into this section.

Once your bio is updated with new Insta fonts, click Submit and check it out!

Pro Tip: If you want to format your Instagram bio with spaces and line breaks to work on Instagram, make sure you remove any extra spaces after emojis, text symbols, and punctuation marks.

Even one extra space at the end of a line cancels out your line spacing!

How to Get Different Fonts on Instagram Story

You can also use the same copy and paste trick from an Instagram font generator (or Tailwind) to add different fonts to your Instagram Stories!

Simply choose the font you want to use, copy, and paste it into your Stories.

Or, you could use the new fonts on Instagram Stories! The new font choices have been rolling out to accounts over the past year, and expand the original four font choices to nine. Check them out!

You can change your fonts by opening a Story to create, tapping the text button in the top right corner, and scrolling through the available fonts.

How to Use Instagram Font Change For Sales + Engagement

Besides being totally cool, different Instagram text fonts serve a purpose in your Instagram strategy. In fact, new Instagram font styles can help make your great Instagram captions get more sales!

Want to see how? Here’s some of our favorite uses for different Instagram fonts:

1.Tease Main Points with Different Instagram Fonts 

When users are scrolling mindlessly through Instagram, they’re less likely to stop and click on every caption to read it.

After all, they know there’s another post coming up next!

To capture attention quickly, you have to stop the scroll with an Instagram caption that stands out.

For example, Molly has placed a powerful call-to-action in eye-catching Instagram font exactly where it’ll appear in the feed (only about 35 characters appear before someone has to click read more.). 

Bold the first line of your caption with an eye-grabbing question or statement.

Then bold select keywords throughout your copy to help skimmers get the gist quickly and decide to engage!

2.Bold Key Words That Trigger Strong Reactions

This is a handy psychological trick that plays into evoking strong emotion – all with the use of an Instagram font change! 

Try bolding or adding different fonts for Instagram to select keywords and phrases that will trigger emotion or action.

A great example is something like ⚡️FLASH SALE! ⚡️

3. Highlight Your Events with Instagram Font Changes

Anxious to get attendees to buy tickets on Instagram for your latest event or promotion?

Try bolding the most relevant information so it jumps out at casual browsers.

By bolding the who, when, and where’s, your readers are more likely to check their calendars and figure out if they can attend the event.

If they can, they’ve already achieved that “mental buy-in” they’ll need to keep reading and sign up! 

If they can’t, you’ll save yourself that disappointment that could damage your follower relationship by making them jump through hoops only to find out they can’t attend the event. 

4. Use Instagram Cursive Font In Short Captions

These fancy characters are best used sparingly. If you’ve ever seen a full paragraph of Instagram cursive font, it’s tough to read. So how do you write in cursive on Instagram in a way that won’t overwhelm your followers?

Keep it simple: Choose short but impactful sentences and phrases in your caption and change the Instagram font to cursive.

In fact, this is a great font to use for one-sentence captions or a dreamy song lyric!

5. Mix and Match Different Instagram Fonts for High Impact Captions

If you have multiple CTAs or actions your followers can take from your post, try highlighting them throughout your caption in different fonts.

For example, Download now, Click Get Tickets on my profile, or Questions? Tap the Contact Button!

Conclusion: How to Change Instagram Font on Your Captions + Bio

Before now, using different fonts for Instagram was kind of a headache. Any time you longed to format Instagram copy with bolds, italics or that awesome fancy cursive, you’d have to use copy and paste fonts from web text generators.
