FAQ
Why can't I copy captions in the Instagram app?
The app does not allow text selection in captions on iPhone and Android. This tool reads the public post and shows the caption as normal text.
Does it work for Reels and photo posts?
Yes, for every public post type that has a caption.
Does it also copy the comments?
No, only the caption written by the account that posted.
Is this really free?
Yes. Every tool on Shortform Kit is free, with no account, no watermark and no daily limit for normal use. We run it on our own server and keep costs low on purpose.
Do you store my files or links?
No. The file is created for you, kept for 15 minutes so you can save it, then deleted automatically. We don't log which links you paste.
Which content is allowed?
Only public posts. Private accounts, stories that need a login and age-restricted videos don't work, and we never ask for your password. Download only content you have the right to use.
