Instagram caption character counter

Write your caption and see how much of Instagram's 2,200 characters you have left. Anything past the limit is highlighted.

The counts below update as you type. Your text is saved on this device automatically.

What it does

An Instagram caption can be up to 2,200 characters, and everything counts: letters, spaces, line breaks, emoji and hashtags. Only the start shows in the feed before "more", about the first 125 characters, so the opening line does the work.

The ring shows your caption against 2,200 and highlights anything past it, and the Instagram caption row in Limits shows the characters left. TikTok captions are checked against the same 2,200.

How to use it

  1. Write or paste your caption.
  2. Watch the ring and the Instagram caption row for characters left.
  3. Check the first line: about 125 characters show before "more".

Everything is counted on this device. Nothing you write is uploaded, and it works offline.

Good for

  • Long captions, stories behind a photo and carousels
  • Fitting hashtags in without being cut off
  • Writing captions ahead and pasting them in later
  • Reels and TikTok captions (both 2,200)

Questions

How many characters can an Instagram caption have?

Up to 2,200, including spaces, line breaks, emoji and hashtags.

How much of a caption shows before "more"?

About the first 125 characters in the feed. The exact cut depends on the screen and on line breaks, so put the hook in the first line.
