Social Media Character Counter

1. Paste your draft once.
2. Pick what you're writing (post, bio, title…) and the platforms you use.
3. See instantly where it fits — the strictest platform decides “Fits everywhere”.
4. If it's too long, see exactly where it goes over, select the overflow or jump to a clean stopping point, then copy or open it in the LinkedIn or Instagram formatter.

Each network decides its own limit for each field — an Instagram bio, a LinkedIn post and a YouTube title all differ. Pick your platforms once and the counter compares one draft against all of them, so you know which one needs a shorter version.

One emoji can be built from several Unicode characters — skin tones, flags and family emoji are joined from parts. It looks like one symbol but some platforms count each part. The “How is my text counted?” panel shows visible characters, code points and UTF-16 units side by side.

On X, every link counts as 23 characters no matter how long it is. Other platforms don't document link counting in the same way, so this counter counts the link as typed — a safe estimate.

The hard limit is the most you can post. “See more” is where the app shortens a long post in the feed — your text is still there. First-impression previews here are approximate and are never treated as a limit.

Official platform documentation is preferred. Every rule shows whether it is official or observed, when it was last checked and where it came from. Platforms change limits, so rules are reviewed regularly and never changed automatically.

Your draft is counted entirely inside your browser. It is never uploaded, stored or sent to analytics — not the text, links, hashtags, mentions or clipboard. Only general events are counted (for example which platforms you picked, whether the draft fits, or that Copy was used). Your platform choice is the only thing remembered on this device.

Type or paste any text: English, Hindi, Hinglish, accented letters, emoji, links, hashtags, @mentions and styled Unicode text.
