mimicWhy spacing disappears
Blank lines in a caption can get squashed together, especially when a line ends with a space or the line is truly empty. Putting a character on each empty line, one you can't see, keeps the gap.
This tool trims spaces at the end of each line, puts an invisible Braille blank (U+2800) on each empty line, and turns leading spaces into invisible blanks too, so indented lists stay indented.
How to use it
- 1
Write or paste your caption
Use Enter for line breaks, empty lines for gaps.
- 2
Pick a filler
Invisible is cleanest. A dot is the old-school, always-visible option.
- 3
Check the preview
It shows roughly how the caption reads under a post.
- 4
Copy and paste into Instagram
Paste into the caption field as the last step, after any edits.
Worked example
You type: “Dull skin by 3pm?”, an empty line, “I tried this for two weeks.”
You paste: the same text, but the empty line now holds one invisible U+2800 character.
The gap shows on the post instead of the two lines running together.

Questions
How do I add a line break on Instagram?
Press Enter (Return) while typing. To keep empty lines between paragraphs, put an invisible character on each empty line; this tool does that for you.
Is the invisible character really invisible?
The Braille blank (U+2800) shows as empty space on phones and computers. If one ever displays as a box, switch to the dot filler.
Does it count toward the caption limit?
Yes, each filler is one character. Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters; check yours in the caption counter.
Does this work for TikTok and LinkedIn?
The same text pastes anywhere. Blank lines survive on most platforms anyway; the filler just makes sure.
