Multi-Platform Character Counter

Why the counts differ between platforms

Each platform sets its own limit and counts characters slightly differently:

• Twitter / X — 280 chars, but URLs always count as 23, and some non-Latin characters count as 2
• Instagram — 2200 chars for captions, including hashtags and mentions
• LinkedIn — 3000 chars for posts, but only the first 210 show above "see more"
• TikTok — 2200 chars for descriptions (was 150 before 2023)
• Threads — 500 chars
• Bluesky — 300 chars (300 graphemes)
• Mastodon — 500 default, but many instances allow up to 11000
• Facebook — 63,206 (effectively no limit)
• Pinterest — 500 char description
