What is Caption Text?

Caption text is a short text that is above, below or in an image as a complement to the image. Many people think that captions are the same as quotes, even though they are different

The difference between a caption and a quote is that a quote is a quote that is usually taken from a book, song or dialogue in a film and is accompanied by the name of the author. While the caption is writing that is made to explain the image. Captions are used as a means of expression on social media.

Usefulness of Caption Text

The function of the caption text is to explain about an image, sometimes there are also inserts of advice or motivation in it. Some images will have a greater impact if they are explained with pictures.

  • Don't use articles words like a, an, or the
  • As much as possible use Present Tenses so that the picture can be described
  • Give readers information that can't be obtained from just looking at the pictures
  • The existence of the caption is to complete the photo, not a substitute for the photo
  • Writing the caption does not need to start with the name
  • Writing captions to indicate an individual, can use the word "from left," NOT "from left to right."
  • No need to write down obvious words like “Above” and “pictured here”
  • Mention the name in the caption only if the name is really important
  • Start writing a good caption in English with some variations of the following words:

  1.  prepositional phrases
  2. infinitive -phrases
  3. participial phrases
