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.
