A 400-character caption on Facebook Pages
Facebook Pages shows about the first 480 characters before "…more", so -80 of the 400 are hidden until someone taps. Put the hook in those first 480.
Facebook line break generator
To keep line breaks in Facebook captions, type your text in paragraphs here and copy the output: the tool puts a line holding an invisible character between paragraphs, so Facebook cannot collapse the gap when you paste. It is a workaround, not an official feature, so check the post after it publishes. Facebook Pages posts take up to 63,206 characters, shows about 480 before "…more".
Separate paragraphs with a blank line, the way you normally would.
Paste this into Facebook

This inserts invisible zero-width spacer characters between paragraphs so a composer that collapses a plain blank line still keeps the break — it is a workaround for how Facebook currently handles pasted text, not an official feature, so paste this OUTPUT rather than typing straight into the composer, and test it before you rely on it for something important.
How do you add real line breaks on Facebook?
- Write your caption in paragraphs. Draft it normally in the box on the left, with a blank line between paragraphs, the way you always would.
- Let the spacer get inserted. As you type, the tool replaces each blank line with an invisible zero-width spacer line automatically — there is nothing to configure.
- Copy the formatted output. Use the copy button to take the OUTPUT text, not the plain draft you started with.
- Paste it into Facebook. Paste directly into Facebook's caption box. Composing there from scratch skips the workaround entirely, since the fix is the invisible characters themselves.
- Check it rendered, and re-test later. Preview or publish and confirm the breaks show as separate paragraphs. Platforms occasionally change how their composer handles pasted text, so revisit this if Facebook stops respecting the spacer.
What are the Facebook Pages rules to know?
The limits SkedCast’s composer checks for Facebook Pages before a post goes out, read from the same rules table the composer uses.
| Text limit | 63,206 characters |
|---|---|
| How length is counted | As you see it: one emoji or accented letter counts as one character |
| Hashtags | No hashtag cap enforced |
| Where the caption is cut off in the feed | About 480 characters before "…more", so lead with the point |
| Text-only posts | Allowed |
| Links in the text | A pasted URL shows a link-preview card |
| First comment | Supported: SkedCast can post a first comment right after publishing |
| Images | up to 10 per post · JPEG, PNG · max 10 MB each · aspect ratio 9:16 to 16:9 |
| Video | up to 1 per post · MP4, MOV · up to 4 hours · max 10,240 MB · 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 recommended |
Good to know
- Facebook can only post to Pages you administer — not to a personal profile/timeline.
- Facebook Reels must be a single vertical (9:16) video, roughly 3–90 seconds long.
- Facebook does not support polls via the API.
- You cannot mix photos and video in one Facebook feed post — a video must be the only media item.
- Facebook posts have no separate title field.
What does it look like in practice?
Two paragraphs become one spacer line
A caption with two paragraphs gets exactly one invisible spacer line inserted between them in the output — paste that version instead of the two-paragraph original you typed.
Facebook line break generator FAQ
- Does this work for Facebook Page posts as well as personal posts?
- Yes — the paste behavior it works around is in Facebook’s composer itself, so it applies the same way whether you are posting from a personal profile or a Page.
- Will this affect how the post looks on mobile versus desktop?
- No. The spacer characters are invisible on both, so the post reads the same either way — only the paragraph spacing changes, not the visible characters.
- Can I post text only on Facebook Pages?
- Yes. Facebook Pages accepts a text-only post, up to 63,206 characters.
- Will Facebook Pages cut off a long caption?
- In the feed, yes: Facebook Pages shows roughly the first 480 characters and hides the rest behind "…more", so put the hook and any call to action first.
- How many hashtags can a Facebook Pages post have?
- SkedCast enforces no hashtag cap for Facebook Pages; the practical limit is the 63,206-character text limit and what reads well.
- What happens to a link in a Facebook Pages post?
- The link counts at its real length, and Facebook Pages shows a link-preview card for it.
