Character Counter

Twitter/X allows up to 280 characters per tweet for standard accounts. Premium subscribers may have access to longer posts.

Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters, but only the first 125 characters are visible before users tap "more." Instagram bios are limited to 150 characters.

Yes, spaces are typically counted as characters. Most platforms and systems include spaces in their character limits.

Unicode characters like emojis or non-Latin scripts may count as more than one character on some platforms because they use multiple bytes. This tool counts each visible character as one.

Meta descriptions should be 150–160 characters for optimal display in search engine results. Google may truncate descriptions longer than this.
