Type your text and see instantly whether it fits the character limits of X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest and Threads.
Every social media platform has its own character limits, and they are not obvious. A tweet is 280 characters, but an Instagram caption allows 2,200, a LinkedIn post 3,000, and a Facebook post over 63,000. The limit for a TikTok bio is just 80 characters — less than a tweet. Knowing these numbers by heart is unrealistic, and looking them up every time you write a post is a waste of time. This tool puts them all on one screen: type your text and see instantly which platforms it fits and which it overflows.
The table covers eight platforms — X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest and Threads — with every text field that has a published limit: posts, bios, captions, comments, usernames, headlines, descriptions, ad copy and more. Each field shows its limit and whether your text is within it. Fields that exceed the limit are flagged with the exact number of characters over, so you know how much to cut. The check runs on every keystroke, so you can write and trim at the same time.
The limits are collected from the official help pages and developer documentation of each platform and reviewed periodically. Platforms change these without notice — Instagram raised its caption limit from 2,200 to 2,200 (it was lower once), Twitter went from 140 to 280 to 25,000 for Premium — so the date of the last review is printed at the bottom. Everything runs in your browser; the text you type is not uploaded or sent anywhere.
They are reviewed on the date shown at the bottom of the table. Platforms change limits without notice, so always check the official documentation for critical posts.
No. The character count runs entirely in JavaScript.
Standard X accounts have a 280-character limit. X Premium accounts can post up to 25,000 characters.
It depends on the platform. Most platforms count emoji as two or more characters because of how Unicode works. This tool counts JavaScript string length, which matches what most platforms use.
Type one text at a time. The table updates instantly, so checking a second text is as fast as selecting all and pasting.
