questions.
- How do I come up with a caption for my photo?
- Start from the one thing in the picture nobody else would mention: the latte art you kept, the ducks on the dashboard, the plant that fell over. A caption about that detail beats a quote that fits any photo. Vibatorial does this for you: it reads the photo and writes the line about what is actually in it.
- How do I put a caption on my photo on iPhone?
- To type it yourself, open the photo in Photos, tap Edit, then More (⋯), Markup, the plus button and Add Text (our step-by-step guide with screenshots is at vibatorial.com/add-text-to-photo-iphone). To have it written and set for you, pick the photo in Vibatorial: it writes the caption in one of 15 voices and designs it onto the photo for your Story or feed.
- Can I use these captions?
- Yes, take any of them. Each one was written for the photo it sits on, though, so your own photo will get a better line of its own.
- Is it free?
- Your first 3 covers are free, with no account. Vibatorial Pro is $7.99 a month or $29.99 a year, and the year starts with a 7-day free trial.
- Does it work on Android?
- Not yet. Vibatorial is an iPhone app and needs iOS 17.0 or later.
