One counter, every platform limit

Character limits are scattered across a dozen help-center pages that go stale. Instead of looking them up, type once and watch every limit at the same time: the sidebar shows a live progress bar per platform, turns blue as you approach a limit, and red the moment you cross it.

Writing something longer, like an article or essay? The word counter adds sentences, paragraphs, reading time, and most-used words.

Frequently asked questions

Do emojis count as one character?
In this counter, yes — it counts what you see (Unicode code points), so 😀 counts as 1. Be aware that some platforms count differently under the hood: X counts most emoji as 2, and SMS switches to a smaller 70-character segment size when a message contains emoji.
What are the current social media character limits?
X posts: 280 (free accounts). LinkedIn: 3,000 for posts, 220 for headlines, 2,600 for the About section. Instagram: 2,200 for captions, 150 for bios. TikTok captions: 2,200. YouTube titles: 100. SMS: 160 per message. The sidebar tracks all of these live as you type.
How long can a meta description be?
Google truncates by pixel width, not characters, but roughly 155–160 characters fits on desktop. The sidebar uses 160 as the practical limit and 60 for title tags.
Characters with or without spaces — which matters?
Platform limits always count spaces. 'Without spaces' matters mainly for translation and typesetting quotes, academic requirements, and some job application systems, so both numbers are shown.
