Social / SEO Character Limit Checker

Text

Paste a caption, headline, or meta description and see live progress bars for every common limit: Twitter / X post (280), Instagram caption (2200), YouTube title (100), SEO title (60), Meta description (160), Google Ads headline (30), Meta Ads primary text (125), and many more. Each card shows remaining characters, turns amber as you near the limit, and red when you go over.

Frequently asked questions

Are these limits up to date?
Yes as of mid-2026. Platforms occasionally bump their limits — verify on their official help pages before betting a campaign on it.
Do emojis count?
Each emoji counts as one code point here, which matches what most platforms display as the user-visible length. The underlying byte count is higher, but platform limits use code-point counts.
What's the 60-character SEO title?
Google's title display is pixel-based, but 60 characters is the widely-quoted safe approximation. Past that, Google often rewrites or truncates the title in search results.
Why so many limits?
Modern marketing copy gets shipped across many surfaces — having one place to check all of them at once saves clicking through each platform's help docs.
