Being able to add captions to videos on TikTok is one of the app’s most useful features. But, there may be times when you make a mistake in the caption that you want to edit out.
Videos with lengthy captions are commonplace on TikTok, and it’s crucial to nail them the first time. But, what happens if you make a spelling mistake? Is it possible to edit the captions on TikTok?
How to edit captions on TikTok
Unfortunately, there is no way to edit a caption on TikTok. The only way to change your caption is to delete and re-publish your video on the app. Don’t worry, though. If you’ve added effects, music, and edits to your video, you don’t have to lose out on all your progress.

- Tap on the ‘Profile’ icon at the bottom right of your screen.
- Once you’re on your profile, select the video you want to re-upload.
- Click the three dots to the right of your video. This will open the ‘options’ menu.
- The ‘Save Video’ option should be on the left-hand side of the screen. Once you’ve selected that, the video will download to your device.
- Repost the ready-made video by uploading it from your camera roll, adding a new caption (and making sure you’ve double-checked it before you post.)
Now all you have to do is sit back, watch the likes roll in, and wait for TikTok to add an ‘edit post’ option.
