Social Media Character Counter
Write your post once and see instantly whether it fits every platform. Live character counts against each network's limit, plus hashtag and mention tallies — so nothing gets cut off mid-sentence.
Write for the limit, hook for the fold
Most feeds show only the first line or two before a "see more" cut. Even when a platform allows thousands of characters, the words that earn the click are the ones above that fold. Lead with the payoff, then expand — and keep an eye on the counts so a great post never ends in an ellipsis.

Frequently asked questions
What is the character limit on X (Twitter)?
Standard X posts are limited to 280 characters. Verified Premium subscribers can post much longer, but 280 is the limit everyone can read in full without expanding.
What is the ideal length for a LinkedIn post?
LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters, but posts are truncated with a 'see more' link after roughly 140–210 characters on the feed. Put your hook in the first line.
How many hashtags should I use?
It varies by platform: 3–5 focused hashtags work well on Instagram and LinkedIn, 1–2 on X, while Facebook engagement tends to drop with heavy hashtag use. Relevance beats volume everywhere.
