Count characters for every social network at once.
Type or paste your draft below. See fit across 9 networks live — with the emoji-aware grapheme counting X and Bluesky actually use, not the misleading raw-char count most counters show.
0 / 280Premium accounts get 25,000 but 280 is the standard for reach.
0 / 300Chars are grapheme-counted; emoji count as one.
0 / 500Split longer thoughts into a thread — each post is 500.
0 / 3,000Post text; comments and articles have their own limits.
0 / 2,200First ~125 chars show without 'more'. Hashtags count toward the total.
0 / 63,206Effectively unlimited. Under 80 chars gets 66% more engagement.
0 / 4,000First line is the hook; only ~100 chars visible on the feed.
0 / 5,000Community posts have a 700-char limit — different field.
0 / 500Keyword-rich; treat like alt text for search.
What counts as a character on each network?
Most networks count characters straight — one code point, one character. X and Bluesky count graphemes — an emoji is 1 character even though it can be multiple code points internally. This tool reports both so you can plan for the correct one.
Hashtags, URLs, and mentions count toward the total on every network — no free ride. X does shorten all URLs to a fixed 23 chars via t.co, so a 200-char link still counts as 23.
Instagram hides caption text past the first ~125 characters behind a “more” link. If you want your hook seen without a click, front-load the first line.
Facebook posts allow up to 63,206 characters technically. Practically, posts under 80 characters get about 66% more engagement — brevity is the game there.
