Why character limits matter

Nearly every marketing channel enforces a character limit, whether it's a search engine truncating a long title tag, a social platform cutting off a caption, or an SMS provider splitting a message into extra segments. Writing within these limits ensures your message displays exactly as intended, everywhere it appears.

This tool counts live as you type, so you can write naturally and watch each limit in real time instead of guessing and checking afterward.

Common limits this tool tracks

  • Google title tags (~60 characters) and meta descriptions (~160 characters).
  • X/Twitter posts (280 characters) and SMS messages (160 characters per segment).
  • Meta Ads headlines (~40 characters) and Instagram captions (2,200 characters).
