Instagram Captions
64+ Instagram Captions for Your Best Friend
The best friend photo is the hardest one to caption. The picture already says "we are close", so a caption that says the same thing again is wasted space.
These captions are written to add something instead — a joke, a detail, a small admission. Sorted by tone so you can match the photo in a few seconds.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good Instagram caption for a best friend photo?
Something that adds to the photo rather than describing it. If the picture already shows you laughing, do not write "laughing with my best friend" — write the joke instead.
How long should an Instagram caption be?
Short enough to sit above the "more" cut-off, so around 125 characters. Longer captions work only when the extra length is doing real work.
Can I use these captions for free?
Yes. Every caption here is original to Saylines and free to post without credit or attribution.
Should I tag my friend in the caption or the photo?
Tag in the photo. Tagging in the caption uses up characters and pushes your actual line down.
