Every social network and every SEO field has its own character limit — and going over it can cut your message or ad off mid-sentence. This tool shows, in real time, how many characters you have left for the limit you pick.
Type your text, choose a platform from the dropdown, and watch the progress bar: it turns yellow near the limit and red once you go over.
Common limits
- X (formerly Twitter): 280 characters per post.
- Instagram: up to 2,200 characters in a caption, but only ~125 show before 'more'.
- SEO title (Google): around 60 characters before it gets truncated in search results.
- Meta description: roughly 155–160 characters.
Practical example
You're writing a post for X (Twitter) and want to make sure it fits within 280 characters. Pick the "X / Twitter (280)" limit from the dropdown, type your text, and watch the bar: it turns yellow as you approach the limit and red if you go over.
