How to Use AI Social Copy Generators
SOFRIQ’s AI social copy tools help you create a starting draft for Facebook posts, Instagram captions, and Pinterest Pins. You can describe what you want to share, add a reference image, set a tone and goal, and choose whether to include hashtags or emojis. Review the generated copy before using it—AI provides a draft, not a finished or automatically published post.
Choose the Right Generator
- Facebook Caption Generator & Post Writer creates a Facebook caption or a longer post draft.
- Instagram Caption Generator creates a caption draft for an Instagram post.
- Pinterest Title & Description Generator creates both a Pin title and a description.
You can also switch between these generators using the channel tabs in the writing workspace. Each generator has its own output fields and character guidance.
What You Can Provide
A description or prompt
Describe the post you want to create. Helpful details include the subject, intended audience, relevant keywords, offer, event information, or the action you want readers to take. For example, instead of writing “new product,” explain what the product is, who it is for, and what readers should know about it.
A reference image
You can add an image to give the AI visual context. An image is optional, but you must provide either an image or written context before generating copy. The file picker accepts image files; supported formats include JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, AVIF, TIFF, and SVG.
You can add more than one reference image when your plan allows it. The tool shows upload progress, lets you remove an attached image, and prevents generation while an image is still uploading. If an upload fails, check the displayed error, file type, and size, then try again.
A tone and goal
These fields are optional. Use Tone to describe how the copy should sound, such as warm, professional, playful, or informative. Use Goal to explain what the post should achieve, such as announcing an event, introducing a product, sharing useful information, or inviting a response.
How to Generate Copy
- Open the generator for Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest.
- Add a reference image, describe your post, or provide both.
- Include useful context, such as the audience, key details, keywords, offer, or call to action.
- Optionally enter a tone and goal.
- Choose whether to include relevant hashtags or emojis.
- Select Generate and wait for the result to appear in the preview.
- Review the draft, copy it, and make any necessary edits before sharing or using it elsewhere.
Be specific when a detail matters. The AI may not know information that is missing from your prompt or cannot be reliably determined from an image. Check names, dates, locations, prices, product claims, links, and other factual details yourself.
Hashtags and Emojis
Use the Relevant hashtags option to request topic-related hashtags in the generated copy. It is enabled by default for Instagram and Pinterest, and disabled by default for Facebook. You can change the option before generating.
Use A few emojis when you want the draft to include emojis. This option is off by default for all three generators. Review any suggested hashtags or emojis to make sure they fit your audience and the message.
Review, Copy, and Continue in Publish
The result panel shows the generated text and, for Pinterest, separate title and description fields. When a result is available, use the relevant copy button to copy the text to your clipboard. Check the draft for accuracy, tone, platform fit, and character count before using it.
The Schedule This Post button opens the Publish creation flow. The generated copy is not automatically transferred into that flow, so copy it first if you intend to use it there. Scheduling and publishing are separate steps; the AI generator does not publish directly to a social account.Once you have copied your content, you can easily paste it into your post slots within the Publish dashboard.
As noted in the documentation, "SOFRIQ Publish is a social media scheduling workspace where you can prepare, schedule and manage posts for Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram." This streamlined workflow ensures your content is organized and ready to go before the final activation.
Image Storage and Privacy
When you add a reference image, SOFRIQ uploads it to its cloud media storage so the generator can use it. These tool uploads are marked public, which means someone with the image URL may be able to access it while it remains stored. Do not upload sensitive or confidential images. If you're logged in, you can change its privacy any time.
Uploads are associated with the signed-in user when applicable. Guest uploads use a guest storage path rather than a user account. Logged-in user's images will be available in Media Library. Tool images are marked for deletion after 15 minutes. A cleanup worker processes expired images periodically; if that worker is not running, deletion may be delayed until it runs again.
The generated copy is returned to the page for you to review and copy. The tool’s generation flow does not save that result as a SOFRIQ post or publish it to your social account.
Credits and Generation Errors
For a signed-in user, a successful copy-generation request uses one AI credit. If generation fails, the system attempts to return the reserved credit. Guests do not have an account credit balance to deduct from.
If generation fails, check your internet connection, confirm that at least one image finished uploading or that you entered a description, and try again. If the error reports insufficient credits, review your account’s available credits. If an image upload fails, check its size and format and try uploading it again.
Tips for Better Drafts
- Explain who the post is for and what they should learn or do.
- Include important facts in the prompt rather than expecting the AI to infer them.
- Use one clear goal and a tone that suits your brand and audience.
- For Pinterest, describe what the Pin links to and what someone will find after opening it.
- For Instagram, keep the caption focused and review the character counter.
- For Facebook, specify whether you want a brief caption, an announcement, or a more detailed post.
- Always review the generated draft and verify factual claims before sharing.
