How the Social Media Character Counter Works
Social platforms enforce strict character limits on posts, captions, headlines, and descriptions. Exceeding these limits can cause your captions to get truncated or prevent your post from publishing. Our free Character Counter measures your text in real time against official character limits for Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Google Business.
