Why does counting characters matter?
Each social network has different character limits. Exceeding these limits can cut your text or prevent publishing. With our free counter, you can see in real time if your text fits each platform.

Tips to optimize your texts
Shorter posts tend to get more engagement. On Instagram, captions with 125-150 characters have higher interaction rates. On LinkedIn, posts between 1,200-1,500 characters perform better. But the most important thing is that the message is clear and has a strong CTA.
