A free counter that tracks character, word, and sentence count as you type, with live indicators showing whether you are within X, IG, LinkedIn, Facebook, or TikTok limits. Faster than checking each platform's limit manually when you are repurposing content across surfaces.

How to use it

1

Open the Social Media Character Counter and start typing in the main input field.

2

Watch the character, word, and sentence counters update in real time.

3

Check the platform indicators below to confirm you are within IG, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, or TikTok limits.

4

Edit the text until every target platform shows a green indicator.

5

Copy the final caption into your scheduler or post manually.

Best-fit use cases

Cross-platform repurposing

Confirm one caption works across X, IG, and LinkedIn without exceeding limits anywhere.

Pre-publish QA

Avoid posting a caption that gets cut off mid-sentence on the platform you forgot to check.

Quick draft trimming

Tighten a long caption to fit X's 280-character limit without losing the hook.

Ad copy fitting

Confirm primary text and headline copy fits Meta's ad format constraints before submitting.
