The 50 Best Selfie Captions of 2022

Taking a great selfie isn't easy but deciding on the perfect caption for it can be even harder. Not all selfies speak for themselves when viewed from someone else's perspective so, when you write a caption, think first about how you can help your friends and followers understand the image the way you envisioned it.

We've got you covered: The next time you're gearing up to post a mirror selfie (or any other kind!) on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or any of your favorite social networks, look through our favorite selfie captions to help effectively communicate the message you're trying to convey.
