How to put 'movie' caption into Instagram photo

The new trend among Instagram users is posting photos with texts that simulate movie legends. The feature, however, is not natively available in the photo network app. To play the effect, you need to go to another app. In this tutorial, we show you how to apply the caption in Instagram's photo with the Phonto application, a free image editor available for iPhone (iOS) and Android.

The app lets you take a new photo using the camera or search for a saved image in the phone's library. Then the edit page offers the option to insert a caption and choose a font in the desired color. To get the movie caption effect to post to Instagram, follow the tips we have prepared in the following tutorial.

Step 1. Download and install Phonto on your phone. Open the app and touch the camera icon at the bottom of the screen. Then choose whether you want to open the camera on your phone to take a new shot straight through the app or fetch an image from the library. For this example, we will use the "Photo Albums" option, which edits a photo already saved in the phone;
