Twitter (now X) allows 280 characters per post. This limit was doubled from 140 characters in 2017. URLs, images, and polls are included in this count, though images typically use about 24 characters.
Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters long. However, only the first 125 characters appear in the feed before the "more" link, so front-load your most important message.
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server or stored anywhere.
The etudai social media counter tracks character counts for all major social media platforms including Twitter with its 280 character limit, Instagram captions with 2200 characters, LinkedIn posts with 3000 characters and more. As you type your post, the counter shows how many characters remain on each platform simultaneously. No signup required, completely free.
Social media managers use character counters to optimize posts for each platform before publishing. Content creators use them to avoid hitting limits mid-post. Marketers use them to craft precise ad copy within character restrictions. Community managers use them to draft replies that fit within platform constraints. etudai social counter shows all platform limits at once.
