TikTok Caption Preview
Write the caption, add a picture and see it the way TikTok shows it, before you publish. Your text and pictures stay on your device.
Pictures are shown from your device and are never uploaded.
Click “see more” in the preview to open the full post. The cut-off is a close match to the app, but each app changes its layout now and then.
How to use the TikTok Caption Preview
- Write or paste your text. The preview updates as you type.
- Add your name, username and, if you like, a profile picture and a post image.
- Switch between phone and computer width.
- Check where the text is cut (about two lines over the video) and rewrite until the first lines work on their own.

Good to know
- Only the first line or two of a caption show over the video before "more".
- The preview is a close mock-up, not a copy of the app. Apps change their layout, fonts and cut-off points from time to time, so treat it as a guide.
- Numbers for likes, comments and views are sample figures.
