About this tool
Every platform truncates differently: X at 280 characters, Instagram captions at 125 visible, LinkedIn posts at 210 before “see more”, meta titles at ~580 pixels. Type once and watch live counters for every major platform — with the truncation point marked so your hook always survives the cut.
How to use the Social Media Character Counter
- Type or paste your post text.
- Watch each platform’s counter and truncation warning.
- Edit until your key message fits before every cut-off.

Why does the visible limit matter more?
Feeds hide text behind “see more” — engagement is decided by what is visible before the fold.
