Against platform limits

  • X (Twitter) post0 / 280 · 280 left

    Free accounts. Premium raises it to 25,000. A link counts as 23 characters however long it is.

  • Instagram caption0 / 2,200 · 2,200 left

    The feed shows about the first 125 characters before “more”, so the hook belongs there.

  • TikTok caption0 / 2,200 · 2,200 left

    The posting API caps captions at 2,200, which is what scheduling tools are bound by. The in-app editor currently accepts more, so treat 2,200 as the safe number rather than the only one.

  • YouTube title0 / 100 · 100 left

    Search and suggested-video rails cut titles at roughly 60 characters on desktop and fewer on mobile.

  • YouTube description0 / 5,000 · 5,000 left

    Only the first ~157 characters show before “Show more”.

Limits checked on 4 September 2026. Platforms change these without announcing it — if that date looks old, check the platform before trusting the number.

How it works

1Paste or type your script, caption or article in.
2The headline counts update as you type; press Count for the full breakdown.
3Reading time assumes 200 words a minute and speaking time 150 — middles for English prose, so treat both as estimates.
4Copy the whole set of stats with one button if you need them elsewhere.
