Character limit questions

What is the character limit for X (Twitter)?

X (formerly Twitter) has a 280-character limit for standard posts. Verified accounts (X Premium) can post longer content up to 25,000 characters. Our counter targets the standard 280-character limit.

How many characters can an Instagram caption be?

Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters long. However, only the first 125 characters are shown before the 'more' button, so it's best to put your key message at the start.

What is LinkedIn's character limit for posts?

LinkedIn posts support up to 3,000 characters. For articles (LinkedIn Pulse), the limit is much higher at around 125,000 characters. Our counter tracks the standard post limit.

What is TikTok's caption character limit?

TikTok captions are limited to 150 characters, including hashtags. This is one of the shortest limits across all major platforms, so brevity is key.

Does Bluesky have a character limit?

Yes — Bluesky posts are limited to 300 characters, slightly more than X/Twitter's 280. URLs are counted as characters on Bluesky.

What are YouTube's character limits?

YouTube video titles are capped at 100 characters, and descriptions at 5,000 characters. Search results typically show only the first 60–70 characters of a title, so keep key terms near the start.
