Caption counter FAQ
- What are the character limits for each social platform?
- As of 2026 the primary caption/text limits are: X (Twitter) 280, Bluesky 300, Pinterest 500, Threads 500, Instagram 2,200, TikTok 2,200, LinkedIn 3,000, Telegram 4,096, YouTube description 5,000, and Facebook 63,206 characters.
- How does the caption counter measure length?
- It counts characters by Unicode code point, so an emoji counts as a single character — the way the platforms themselves treat most characters. It also counts words and detects hashtags so you can keep both in check.
- Does the counter store or send my caption anywhere?
- No. Counting happens entirely in your browser as you type — nothing is uploaded, saved, or sent to a server.
- How many hashtags should I use?
- It varies by platform and audience, but a focused set of relevant tags usually outperforms stuffing the maximum. The counter shows your hashtag count so you can keep it deliberate rather than excessive.
