About this tool

Length is counted in user-perceived characters — emoji count once, not as several units — and checked against X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and Facebook limits simultaneously.

How to use the Social Character Counter tool

  1. Paste the post. Emoji included.
  2. Check. Every platform verdict appears at once.
  3. Trim the overflows. Each platform states by how much it is over.

Supported formats

Input

  • Plain text or file input

Output

  • Converted or analysed output

Inputs are validated before anything is processed. Invalid values and unsupported files are rejected with a clear error instead of failing silently.
