Platform Limits

About This Character Counter

Every social media platform enforces different character limits. Staying within those limits (and knowing how close you are) helps you craft posts that fit perfectly without last-minute edits. This tool checks your text against 16 platform limits in real time:

The color-coded progress bars turn green, yellow, red, or dark red as you approach and exceed each limit. The "Your text fits" summary at the top gives you a quick glance at which platforms your current text works for.
