The Social Caption Counter is an essential tool for social media creators who need to keep their captions within platform-specific character limits. Each social media platform has different constraints: Twitter/X allows 280 characters, Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters with a maximum of 30 hashtags, TikTok allows 2,200 characters, LinkedIn gives you 3,000, and Facebook is the most generous at 63,206.

This tool instantly analyzes your caption and provides a complete breakdown including total character count, number of hashtags, number of mentions (@usernames), and emoji count. It then shows you at a glance which platform limits your caption fits within and which ones it exceeds.

Knowing your exact character count before posting helps you avoid the frustration of having to trim your carefully crafted caption after pasting it into a platform. The hashtag count is particularly useful for Instagram, where exceeding 30 hashtags can cause your entire caption to fail to post.

All analysis happens locally in your browser. Your captions are never sent to any server.
