Each platform cuts text off at a different point. X allows 280 characters, Instagram captions 2,200, LinkedIn posts 3,000 and YouTube titles 100.
The bars show how much of each limit you have used so you can trim before you publish rather than after.
Questions
Do emoji count as one character?
This tool counts each emoji as one character. Some platforms count them as two, so leave a small safety margin.
Why do links count differently on X?
X shortens every link to a fixed length, so a long URL may take less room than it does here.
