Why it pays to check the length
Each network limits text differently, and sometimes the visible part is much shorter than the maximum allowed. On Instagram, for example, long captions are usually cut after the first lines, so the most important part should go first.
What the analyzer shows
- Characters, with and without spaces.
- Words, lines, hashtags and mentions.
- Reading and speaking time.
- A bar for each network that warns you how many characters are over.
Tips for writing well in little space
- Start with the main idea or a question.
- Remove filler words and repeated phrases.
- Use specific hashtags instead of lots of generic ones.
- End with a clear call to action: comment, save or visit a link.
How emojis and links are counted
Networks don't always count the same way. An emoji can be worth more than one character, and X counts links with a fixed length. The counter takes this into account approximately for X, so it's worth leaving a small margin.
Frequently asked questions
Is my text saved anywhere?
No. The text is analyzed in your browser and is never sent to any server.
Are the limits exact?
They are the usual limits, for reference. Platforms may change them or apply different rules depending on the account.
What does “cut after…” mean?
It shows roughly where the network hides the rest of the text behind a “more” link. You can post longer text, but that part will be seen less.
