Each social media platform speaks a slightly different language. What works on Instagram might feel too casual for LinkedIn. Twitter (X) needs brevity, while Facebook allows for a bit more depth. That’s why we built Caption Variations. It’s a powerful feature that lets you craft platform-specific captions for every post you create.

Whether you’re managing a campaign, sharing a blog post, or promoting a product, Caption Variations helps you say the right thing to the right audience, without repeating yourself or starting from scratch.

    What Caption Variations Does

    Now, when creating or scheduling a post, you can generate custom captions for each social media platform. With Caption Variations, you can:

    • Generate unique captions for each platform (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, X, Bluesky)

    • Set different tones, styles, or character limits per platform

    • Customize messaging for different audiences while maintaining one central theme or asset

    • Include platform-specific URLs or CTAs, such as:

      • “Read the full article here 👉 [Link]” for LinkedIn

      • “Tap the link in bio 🔗” for Instagram

      • “Click to shop 🛍️” for Facebook

    How Caption Variations Work

    Using Tufa’s Caption Variation feature is super easy and intuitive. 

    1. Start by generating a post as usual. Choose your topic, post type (feed post, carousel, story or series), image & image-prominence and finally base caption. 
    2. Once you’re happy with the post, select Edit, and Caption Variations.
    3. Here, you have a few options. You don’t have to specify each option, but the choice is there:
      1. Preset for platform (Instagram, etc.)
      2.  Length to comply with platform restrictions
      3. Include a URL link (if applicable)
      4. Tone 
      5. A custom prompt
      6. A preset template
    4.  Once you’ve generated the caption, you can edit it further if needed.
    5. Now, when you schedule your posts, be sure to specify which caption you’d like for each platform.
