Instagram Tip

Instagram often removes extra line breaks when you paste text. This tool adds invisible characters that preserve your formatting.

How It Works

1

Type or paste

Enter your text with line breaks where you want them

2

Choose style

Select single, double, or paragraph spacing

3

Copy to Instagram

Line breaks will be preserved when you post

Why does this work? We add invisible zero-width space characters before line breaks. This tricks Instagram into thinking each line has content, preventing it from collapsing multiple line breaks into one.

Why Instagram Destroys Your Caption Formatting

You draft the perfect Instagram caption with clean paragraph breaks, paste it in, and watch your formatting disappear. Instagram aggressively strips whitespace, especially from text copied from notes apps or word processors. Your carefully structured caption becomes an unreadable wall of text.

The fix uses zero-width space characters inserted after each line break. These invisible Unicode markers (U+200B) trick Instagram into thinking there is actual content between paragraphs. The platform preserves your formatting because it cannot tell the difference.

Instagram captions cap at 2,200 characters, but only the first 125 show before the 'more' link. Your hook needs to land in those first two lines. After the fold, proper formatting helps readers scan the rest of your caption quickly without getting lost.

Stories and Reels have different caption limits than feed posts. Stories captions max at 250 characters, Reels at 2,200. The zero-width space technique works across all Instagram content types because it modifies the text itself, not platform-specific formatting.

Schedulala preserves your caption formatting when scheduling Instagram posts ahead of time. For manual posting, run your caption through this tool first. Copy the result and paste directly into Instagram without worrying about your line breaks vanishing.
