How to Use the Platform Character Limit Trimmer
X (Twitter), Instagram, Threads, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook each allow a different number of characters in a post or caption. This tool calculates the length of your text against the limit for the platform you choose and instantly shows whether you're within the limit or over it. If you've gone over, it also shows a preview trimmed at the nearest space so no word gets cut off mid-way.
The count includes every character, including spaces and line breaks, matching how each platform actually counts characters. Keep in mind that platform policies can change without notice, so it's worth double-checking on the actual platform before an important post.
