Count Characters for Social Media Posts
Check character counts against Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other platform limits before posting.
Social Media tips
The platform limits panel shows real-time progress bars for Twitter (280), Instagram (2200), LinkedIn (3000), SMS (160), and more.
Twitter counts Unicode characters, not bytes. An emoji counts as 2 characters on Twitter. Write your tweet here to check the exact count.
SMS messages over 160 characters split into multiple messages (each billed separately). Keep marketing SMS under 160 for single-message delivery.
LinkedIn posts over 210 characters show a "See more" truncation. Put your most important content in the first 210 characters for maximum visibility.
