Each social media platform has strict character limitations for posts, descriptions, and captions. Exceeding these limits can cause your content to be truncated, rejected, or hidden behind 'read more' buttons, decreasing post engagement.
Twitter/X posts are capped at 280 characters (for free users). Instagram captions have a limit of 2,200 characters. LinkedIn posts support up to 3,000 characters. TikTok captions allow up to 2,200 characters. Facebook posts support up to 63,206 characters. YouTube descriptions have a 5,000 character limit.
No, this tool operates entirely on the client-side within your browser. None of the text you enter is sent to our servers or stored anywhere. Your privacy is 100% guaranteed.
When your text reaches 80% of a platform's character limit, the progress bar and status badge turn amber to caution you. Once you hit or exceed 100% of the limit, they turn red to indicate that your post exceeds the platform's constraints.
