Social Media Character Counter
Count characters for your posts and automatically split long texts into Twitter threads.
Free Twitter Character Counter — How It Works
Our free tweet character counter gives you a live count as you type, with a circular progress indicator that turns red when you hit the limit. For Twitter/X, every URL is automatically counted as 23 characters (t.co shortening), matching exactly how Twitter counts your characters. Switch between LinkedIn (3,000 chars), Instagram captions (2,200 chars), Facebook (63,206 chars), and TikTok (2,200 chars) using the tabs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Twitter's character limit in 2025?▼
Twitter/X has a 280-character limit for standard accounts. Every URL counts as exactly 23 characters regardless of length. Our counter handles this automatically.
What is LinkedIn's character limit for posts?▼
LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters for regular posts. Articles have no character limit, but post captions are capped at 3,000 characters.
How do I split a long tweet into a thread automatically?▼
Type or paste your full text into the counter, select the Twitter/X tab, and when your text exceeds 280 characters, an 'Auto-Split into Thread' button appears. Click it to split your text into numbered tweet-sized pieces automatically.
Do URLs count as 23 characters on Twitter?▼
Yes. Twitter automatically wraps all URLs using t.co, which makes every link count as exactly 23 characters regardless of the original URL length. Our counter accounts for this in real time.
What is the Instagram caption character limit?▼
Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters long. However, only the first 125 characters appear before the 'more' button, so front-load important information.
