Social Post Character Counter
Check post length against all platform limits
Hur man använder
Type or paste your social media post into the text area. The tool instantly counts characters, words, hashtags, mentions, and URLs. Progress bars show how your post fits within each platform's character limit. Red warnings appear when you exceed a limit.
Exempel
Draft a tweet
Type your tweet and watch the X (Twitter) progress bar. The 280-character limit counts URLs as 23 characters regardless of actual length. Hashtags and mentions count toward the limit.
Write a LinkedIn post
LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters per post. Use this tool to stay within limits while including relevant hashtags. Posts with 1,200-1,500 characters tend to perform best.
Cross-post to multiple platforms
Write your post once and check all platform limits simultaneously. If your post fits within X's 280-character limit, it will fit everywhere. Adapt longer posts for platforms with higher limits.
Vanliga frågor
Why does X count URLs differently?
X uses a link shortener (t.co) that converts all URLs to 23 characters, regardless of the original URL length. This tool applies the same 23-character weighting so you see the accurate count.
Do hashtags count toward the character limit?
Yes, on all platforms. Hashtags including the # symbol count as regular characters. On Instagram, some users add hashtags in a separate first comment to save caption space.
What is the ideal post length for each platform?
For X, aim for 71-100 characters for best engagement. LinkedIn posts perform well at 1,200-1,500 characters. Instagram captions under 125 characters avoid the 'more' truncation in feeds. There is no universal ideal length; it depends on your audience and content.
Do emojis count as one character?
Most emojis count as 2 characters due to their Unicode encoding. Some complex emojis (skin tone variants, family emojis) can count as 4-7 characters. This tool counts raw character length as most platforms do.
Does the character limit include spaces?
Yes. Spaces, line breaks, and all whitespace characters count toward the character limit on every platform.
