Frequently Asked Questions

How many characters can a Twitter post be?
Twitter/X allows up to 280 characters per post for standard accounts. URLs are shortened to 23 characters regardless of their actual length and count toward the 280-character limit. Twitter Blue subscribers may have access to longer posts.
What is the Instagram caption character limit?
Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters long. However, only the first 125 characters are visible before the "more" link in the feed, so put your most important content and call-to-action at the beginning.
How long can a LinkedIn post be?
LinkedIn posts allow up to 3,000 characters. LinkedIn articles are much longer. For feed posts, the first 200–250 characters show before a "see more" cutoff, so front-load your hook. LinkedIn bios are limited to 220 characters.
What is the ideal meta description length?
Google typically displays 150–160 characters of a meta description in search results. Keep yours between 120–158 characters to avoid truncation. The ideal <meta title> length is 50–60 characters to display fully in search results.
How many characters are allowed in a TikTok caption?
TikTok allows up to 2,200 characters in video captions. Including relevant hashtags in your caption is important for discovery. The first line of your caption is most prominent, so make it compelling.
