Photo captions, also known as cutlines, are a few lines of text used to explain and "elaborate on published photographs." In some cases captions and cutlines are distinguished, where the——caption is: a short (usually one-line) title/explanation for the "photo," while the cutline is a longer, "prose block under the caption," generally describing the photograph, giving context. Or relating it to the article.

Captions more than a few sentences long are often referred to as a "copy block". They are a type of display copy. Display copy also includes headlines and contrasts with "body copy", such as newspaper articles and magazines. Captions can also be generated by automatic image captioning software.
