Free social media character counter — live limits for Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and more.
Social media character counter
Grapheme-aware counting (emoji like 👨👩👧 = 1 character).
Grapheme-aware counting
We count user-visible characters (graphemes), so emoji and ZWJ sequences like 👨👩👧 count as 1. Most platforms do the same. X (Twitter) applies extra weighting for non-Latin scripts — always sanity-check there.Was Social Media Character Counter useful?

The QuickToolz Social Character Counter tracks your post length against every major social platform’s limit in real time — Twitter/X (280), Instagram caption (2 200), LinkedIn (3 000), Threads (500), TikTok caption (2 200), YouTube description (5 000), Facebook (63 206), Pinterest (500), Bluesky (300), Mastodon (500). See exactly how close you are to each limit as you type.
Long posts get truncated with "…" or "see more" cuts, killing engagement and CTR. Knowing the limit while you write lets you front-load the hook and keep the entire payload visible.
