Frequently Asked Questions
What platforms does this check for?
Twitter/X (280), LinkedIn post (3,000), LinkedIn headline (220), Instagram caption (2,200), SMS (160), Google meta title (60), Google meta description (160), and YouTube title (100) — all shown simultaneously.
Why does Twitter allow 280 characters now?
Twitter doubled the limit from 140 to 280 characters in 2017. However, tweets that are shorter tend to get more engagement, so most social media managers still aim for under 200.
How do emoji and special characters count?
Most platforms count emoji as 2 characters (due to Unicode encoding). This tool matches that behavior for accurate platform-specific counts.
