YouTube Shorts Captions Generator
Captions drive the subscribe. This Shorts captions generator turns any saved Short into ready-to-post text, so your hook lands in line one and the CTA earns the sub.
Hook line (first 2 lines)
Open with the result or curiosity gap. On Shorts the caption is read before the sound, so line one decides the subscribe.
On-screen copy
Short overlays that reinforce the hook. Keep each line under 6 words so it reads at speed.
Hashtag set
Three to five tags: one broad, two niche, one trending. SnapMuse maps the tags your saved Shorts actually rank on.
Fill it from a saved video
Save a Short, run AI Inspect, and SnapMuse drafts the caption, overlays, and hashtags straight from its hook analysis.
