Social Media Character Counter — X/Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn Limits

Type or paste your post to see its character count checked against every major platform's limit simultaneously — X/Twitter, Instagram caption, LinkedIn post, Facebook — instead of switching between separate counters or guessing whether you are over on a platform you did not check.

How to use Social Character Counter

  2. Read the live count against each platform's limit.
  3. See which platforms you are within limit for.
  4. Edit until it fits everywhere you need it to.

Frequently asked questions

Do all platforms count characters the same way?
No — some platforms count URLs and emoji differently (X/Twitter historically counted links as a fixed character length regardless of actual URL length), which is reflected in the platform-specific counts.
What is X/Twitter's current character limit?
Standard posts are limited to 280 characters for most accounts, shown live as you type here.
Is my post text stored anywhere?
No. The count runs entirely in your browser as you type.
