Why Use a Social Character Counter?
Every social media platform enforces different character limits. Exceeding the limit on Twitter/X means your post gets cut off; on Instagram the caption is hidden behind "more". This tool lets you draft once and instantly see whether your text fits all major platforms.
Platform Character Limits
| Platform | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Twitter / X | 280 | URLs count as 23 chars regardless of length |
| 2,200 | Only first ~125 chars show without "more" | |
| 3,000 | Posts; articles have a much higher limit | |
| 63,206 | Effectively unlimited for most posts |
Tips
Twitter/X counts URLs as exactly 23 characters regardless of their actual length because they are converted to t.co short links. If your text contains URLs, your actual remaining characters on Twitter will be slightly different from what this counter shows.
