Add TikTok Caption After Posting

Want to add, change, or remove the caption of a TikTok video?

Let me show you how to do it.

How to Add Caption to TikTok After Posting

Answer: TikTok doesn’t let you add captions after posting.

Instead, you can re-post the video with a new caption — or pin a comment with the new caption.

Here’s the step-by-step process:

1. Download your video with no caption
2. Upload it again
3. Type in your caption
4. Publish it

On top of this, you can also type your caption in a comment and then pin it (since you’re the post’s creator).

FAQs

1. Can you add a caption to a TikTok after it’s posted?

No, once a TikTok is posted, you can’t add or change the caption. You can only edit other details by deleting and re-uploading the video.

2. What to do if you forgot to add a caption to TikTok?

If you forgot to add a caption to your TikTok, you can either delete the video and re-upload it with the caption or use the video’s comments to add relevant text.

3. Why can’t I add captions to my TikTok?

You can’t add captions to your TikTok if the video is already posted because TikTok doesn’t allow edits to captions after posting.

To include a caption, you’ll need to re-upload the video with the correct text.
