Social Media Character Limits in 2024

Every social platform has different character limits for posts, captions and descriptions. Exceeding these limits can mean your content gets cut off, rejected, or displayed incorrectly. This tool lets you check your text against all major platforms simultaneously.

Tips for Writing Within Limits

Twitter's 280-character limit is the tightest mainstream constraint β€” every character counts. Use abbreviations carefully, avoid filler words, and front-load the key message. Instagram and TikTok captions show only the first ~125 characters before "more", so put your hook up front regardless of the total limit.

LinkedIn posts perform best between 1,200 and 2,000 characters β€” long enough to tell a story, short enough to keep attention. YouTube titles should be under 70 characters so they don't get truncated in search results, even though the hard limit is 100.
