Free Social Media Character Counter

Paste a caption and see whether it fits each network before you post. The counter also counts hashtags and mentions, because Instagram limits those too.

How it works

How to use the Caption Character Counter

  1. 1

    Paste or write your caption

    Type in the box or paste text you have already written.

  2. 2

    Read the bars

    Each network shows how much of its limit you have used. A bar turns red when the caption is too long for that network.

  3. 3

    Check hashtags

    Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags on a post. The counter shows how many you have used.

  4. 4

    Copy it back

    When it fits everywhere you plan to post, copy the caption and schedule it.

Next step

Caption fits? Schedule it.

The Byvano composer checks every post against the rules of the network it is going to, then publishes it at the time you choose.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the Instagram caption limit?+
An Instagram caption can be up to 2,200 characters and can include up to 30 hashtags. Only about the first 125 characters show in the feed before the reader has to tap "more", so put the important part first.
How long can a YouTube title be?+
A YouTube title can be up to 100 characters. The description can be up to 5,000 characters.
What is the Facebook post limit?+
A Facebook post can be up to 63,206 characters, so length is rarely the problem there. Short posts are usually read more.
Do emojis count as one character?+
Not always. Networks do not all count emojis the same way, and some count one emoji as two characters. This tool counts most emojis as one. If your caption is right at a limit, leave a little room.
Is my text saved?+
No. The text stays in your browser and is not sent to Byvano.
Does Byvano check these limits when I schedule?+
Yes. The Byvano composer checks each post against the rules of the network it is going to before it lets you schedule it.
