Editorial standards & AI disclosure
instacaptions exists to help creators write better social copy in less time. We use AI heavily and we're upfront about it. This page covers how content on this site is produced, reviewed and updated — and how you can reach us if something needs fixing.
Who runs this site
instacaptions AI is an independent product run by a small team of writers, engineers and designers. Editorial decisions are made by the instacaptions editorial team. We are reachable at hello@instacaptions.online or via our contact page.
What's written by humans
- All editorial articles on the blog (under /blog). Written and edited by the instacaptions editorial team based on platform documentation, first-party trend data, and interviews with creators.
- Category page introductions, FAQs and tips under
/c,/h,/forand/vs. Written by editors and reviewed at least every 90 days. - About, Contact, Privacy, Terms and this page. Hand-written by the team.
What's generated by AI
- The caption, hashtag and quote results produced by the on-page generators. These are produced live by a large language model when you submit a prompt. Each result is unique to your input.
- "Trending captions right now" example lists on category pages, which mix editor-curated seeds with AI-generated examples surfaced from opted-in public history.
When AI is the primary author of something visible to readers, it's labelled. The blog, editorial pages and policy pages are not AI-written.
Our editorial line
- We do not accept paid placement in editorial articles.
- We do not buy or sell backlinks.
- Sponsored content is labelled "Sponsored" everywhere it appears, including on generator result pages and in any pin or category surface.
- Affiliate links — when used — are marked with a "Sponsored" or "Affiliate" badge and the disclosure is repeated in our Privacy Policy.
- We disclose when a product mentioned in an article is operated by us (for example, our own generators).
Why you're seeing a sponsored slot
instacaptions is free to use. Sponsored placements and ads pay for the AI generators, hosting and editorial team. Every sponsored slot is clearly labelled "Sponsored". We do not allow advertisers to influence editorial coverage. If you'd like to advertise, see our advertise page.
How we review AI-generated output
We don't review every individual generation — at our volume, that isn't feasible. We do:
- Run automated filters for offensive content, hate speech and policy-violating phrasing before any output is shown.
- Sample roughly 1% of generations daily for human quality review.
- Block prompts and outputs that violate our Terms — including impersonation, harassment and deceptive marketing claims.
- Maintain a known-bad hashtag list and filter generated hashtag sets against it weekly.
Corrections, takedowns and feedback
If you find a factual error in a blog post or category page, email hello@instacaptions.online. We update articles in place and add an "updated" date at the top. Significant corrections are noted at the bottom of the article.
If you believe a generated caption, quote or hashtag violates someone's rights — copyright, trademark or defamation — email the same address with the URL and a description of the issue. We respond within 5 business days and remove or modify content that violates rights or our policies.
