About Social Character Counter
Count characters, words, and lines against character limits for Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, and Threads.
How It Works
Counts your text length and compares it to the character limit of each major social media platform. Also detects hashtags, mentions, URLs, and emojis in your text.
Step by Step
- 1 Paste or type your social media post
- 2 View character counts for all platforms at once
- 3 Check which platforms your text fits within
- 4 See hashtag, mention, URL, and emoji counts
Tips
- Twitter/X posts under 100 characters get more engagement
- Instagram captions perform best between 138–2200 characters
- LinkedIn posts under 1300 characters avoid the 'see more' truncation
- Include 1–3 hashtags on Twitter, 5–15 on Instagram

On Twitter/X, URLs are shortened to 23 characters regardless of actual length. On other platforms, the full URL length counts.
Do emojis count as one character?
Most emojis count as 2 characters in Unicode, but platforms typically count them as 1 character for limit purposes.
