Frequently asked questions

What is the character limit for a LinkedIn post?

LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters per post, but content is truncated after about 210 characters on mobile. Your first 210 characters have to earn the "see more" click. For company page posts, the mobile truncation is even shorter.

What is the character limit on X (Twitter)?

X allows 280 characters for standard accounts and up to 25,000 for X Premium subscribers. For best engagement, keep standard posts under 200 characters — the algorithm rewards posts that don't max out.

What is the character limit for an Instagram caption?

Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters, but only the first 125 characters are shown before the "more" cutoff in the feed. Put your hook in the first line — everything after "...more" is seen only by people who already decided to read.

What is the character limit for a Facebook post?

Facebook technically allows 63,206 characters, but posts longer than about 80 characters get significantly less engagement. For organic reach, stay under 40-80 characters when possible.

What is the character limit for a TikTok caption?

TikTok captions can be up to 2,200 characters, but for the algorithm, brevity wins. The video does the heavy lifting — use the caption to reinforce the hook, not replace it.
