Social Media Character Counter
Count characters, words, hashtags, mentions and emojis as you type and see instantly whether your text fits Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Threads and Pinterest limits.
Runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to our servers.
Every platform truncates or rejects text past its limit — and Instagram cuts captions in the feed after roughly 125 characters with a “more” link, so the first line matters most. This counter updates as you type, shows how much room is left on each platform, and counts hashtags and mentions separately so you stay under Instagram’s 30-hashtag cap.
Frequently asked questions
How many characters can an Instagram caption have?
2,200 characters, including spaces, emojis and hashtags. Only the first ~125 characters show before the “more” link in the feed, so put the hook first.
How many hashtags can I use on Instagram?
Up to 30 per post (caption and first comment combined) and up to 10 on a Story. Instagram itself now recommends 3–5 relevant hashtags rather than the maximum.
What is the character limit on X in 2026?
280 characters for standard accounts; X Premium subscribers can post up to 25,000 characters. Links count as 23 characters regardless of length.
What is the TikTok caption limit?
4,000 characters since 2023. Keep the first 100 characters meaningful — that is what shows without tapping “more”.
Do emojis count as one character?
On Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and Facebook a visible emoji counts as one character. On X, most emojis count as two. This tool shows the platform-native count.
