Character limits for popular platforms
Every platform has a different character limit. Exceeding them means your content gets cut off, rejected, or penalized in search results.
- X / Twitter: 280 characters per post (premium subscribers get more)
- Instagram caption: 2,200 characters (only the first 125 show without "more")
- Instagram bio: 150 characters
- LinkedIn post: 3,000 characters
- Meta description (SEO): 155–160 characters — Google truncates longer ones
- Title tag (SEO): 50–60 characters for optimal display in search results
- YouTube title: 100 characters (Google shows ~70 in search)
