One line per phrase, match speech rhythm, 2-3 seconds minimum per caption, smooth transitions

Best Practices

Caption Best Practices

Readability

Use sans-serif fonts with bold weight and mobile-first sizing (approx. 20% screen height). Ensure proper capitalization, highlight keywords, and break long sentences to match speech timing. Avoid all caps, overcrowding, low contrast, covering faces, or rushing the timing.

Platform Guide

For TikTok, use bold, large, centered text with trendy animations. Instagram favors aesthetic styling with moderate pacing and lower-third placement. YouTube Shorts work best with professional fonts, longer durations, and full sentences.
