Home › Free Tools › Free Social Media Character Counter
Check your caption length against every major platform’s limit at once, with a warning when you go over.
Every social platform has a different character limit, and hitting it mid-sentence — or getting your caption truncated with a “…more” — makes a post look careless. This counter shows your text length against the major platforms at the same time, so you can write once and know instantly where it fits and where it needs trimming.
Type or paste your caption and you’ll see a live character count with each platform’s limit: X, Instagram captions, Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok. When you exceed a limit, that platform is flagged so you know exactly how much to cut. It runs entirely in your browser with nothing to submit.
A practical note for small businesses: the hard limit isn’t the ideal length. Shorter, punchier captions usually perform better even where you’re allowed thousands of characters, and the first line or two is what shows before the “more” cutoff — so lead with the hook. Keep hashtags tidy and put the call to action early.
