Social Media Character Counter

Count characters against the limits for X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Bluesky and more.

To check a post length, paste your text and choose a platform. Characters are counted by Unicode code point so emoji count as one, matching how the platforms themselves count. Hashtags, mentions and links are tallied separately.

Frequently asked questions

Do links count towards the X limit?

X replaces every URL with a fixed-length t.co link that counts as 23 characters regardless of the original length. This counter shows the raw text, so treat long URLs as roughly 23 characters when you are close to the limit.
