Frequently asked questions
What limits are included?
The presets use 280 characters for X, 150 for an Instagram bio, and 160 for a meta description.
How are characters counted?
The count uses Unicode code points, including spaces and punctuation. Platform-specific weighting can differ.
Does the tool publish my text?
No. It only counts characters and never connects to social accounts.
Can I use a different platform limit?
These three presets are provided; check the destination platform for any updated or account-specific limits.
Is the count updated while typing?
Yes. Counts refresh as you edit the text or change the platform.
