One Word Instagram Captions

Sometimes, using just one word says it all. Here are 99+ one-word Instagram Captions for your next Instagram post when you’re in a pinch! Using one word is perfect to get the point across and post quickly on the ‘gram. 

These one-word captions cover every category, so I’m confident you’ll find just the word you’re looking for. Whether your post is about traveling, a selfie, friends’ pics, or random photos, I have you covered.

But before you post, let’s cover the basics of posting on Instagram.

 

What is an Instagram Caption? 

An Instagram Caption is a short written explanation for photos that you post. Captions can summarize what your photo is all about, and these one-word captions make it short and sweet. 

 

How to Write Instagram Captions:

Take a look at your photo to see what you want to talk about. Is the photo a selfie, location, group photo? Is there any emotion you want to bring out? Or is there any irony? One of my favorite irony posts is a vacation photo with the caption ‘Busy’. 

Tip: you can always use these one-word captions below to start your Instagram Caption. From that one word, you can elaborate the caption with more information. Plus, asking your followers a question gets the engagement really going!
