Social Media Character Counter

Twitter/X has a 280 character limit for standard tweets. Twitter Blue/Premium subscribers can post up to 25,000 characters. Links count toward the limit (URLs are shortened to 23 characters).

Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters. However, captions are truncated after 125 characters in the feed — users must tap 'more' to see the rest. Use the first 125 characters for your most important message.

Yes, hashtags count toward the character limit on all platforms. On Instagram, many users put hashtags in the first comment instead to keep captions clean. Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post.
