Type or paste your text in the box above. Nothing is sent or saved: the count runs in your browser.

Each card shows how many characters you have left and turns red when the post is too long.

Shorten the text until every network you use is green, then copy it into your post.

Character counter questions

Do spaces and emojis count as characters?
Yes. Spaces, line breaks, emojis and links all count toward the limit on every network. On X, an emoji counts as 2 characters and every link as 23.
What is the Instagram caption limit?
2,200 characters per caption, and at most 5 hashtags per post or Reel since December 18, 2025.
Why does X show a different count?
X weighs characters: a link always counts as 23 characters, whatever its length, and emojis and Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters count as 2. This counter applies the same rules.
How long can a TikTok caption be?
Video captions published through scheduling tools hold up to 2,200 characters, and photo posts accept a 4,000-character description.
Is my text saved anywhere?
No. The count happens in your browser and your text is never sent to SocialDesk.
