App to copy captions from public posts on Android

If you need caption or description text from a public TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube link, you want a utility that returns plain text — not a downloader, not a login to those platforms, and not a comment scraper.

Approaches people already use

• Select in the original app. Fast when Copy appears. Unreliable on overlays.
• Open the public URL in a browser. Works for some public pages. Extra steps.
• Screenshot + OCR. Works without a link. Messy on small type and stickers.
• Accessibility “copy anything on screen” tools. Broad, and they need extra permissions Caption Copy does not use.

A dedicated public-link helper sits between “fight the overlay” and “grant screen-reading access.”

What Caption Copy does

Caption Copy is a free Android app from TQ Tech. You paste or share a public post URL. It returns:

• TikTok caption text
• Instagram caption text
• YouTube title and public description

You can copy, toggle hashtags on TikTok/Instagram, and save entries to on-device History. Ads may appear. There are no subscriptions.

It does not download video, log in to TikTok/Instagram/YouTube, or claim affiliation with those brands.

Get Caption Copy on Google Play

When to use something else

• You need a transcript of spoken audio — that is a different product.
• You need comments, not the post caption.
• The post is private. Public-link tools cannot honestly fetch that.
