What are the character limits for each platform?

Twitter/X: 280 chars. Instagram: 2,200. TikTok: 300. Snapchat: 80. LinkedIn: 3,000. Threads: 500. Each platform has different limits for different purposes.

Do hashtags count as characters?

Yes, every character counts — including #, @, punctuation, and spaces. The entire text is counted toward the limit.

What happens if I exceed the limit?

The counter turns red and shows negative remaining. The platform may block posting or truncate your text. Stay within the limit for each platform.

Why does Instagram allow 2,200 chars while Twitter only 280?

Each platform has a different philosophy. Twitter is about speed and directness (280 is enough for a news bite). Instagram focuses on visual content with descriptive text.

What's the ideal tweet length?

71-100 chars get 46% more engagement than very short tweets. 190-280 char tweets get more shares. Balance between being concise and informative.

Do spaces count as characters?

Yes, every space counts as one character. On Twitter, spaces consume the 280-character limit. Use spaces wisely.
