LinkedIn Character Counter
Type or paste your post and see the character count update live, along with how much room is left before LinkedIn's post limit. It also counts words, lines, and paragraphs, so you can tighten a draft without pasting it into the composer and risking an accidental publish.

Frequently asked questions
- How long can a LinkedIn post be?
- A standard feed post allows roughly 3,000 characters. Other fields, such as headlines and comments, have their own shorter limits.
- Do emoji count as one character?
- Not always. Many emoji are made of several code points, so a single emoji can use more than one character of your allowance.
- Does the counter include spaces?
- Yes. Spaces and line breaks both count toward the limit.
- What is the LinkedIn comment character limit?
- Comments allow roughly 1,250 characters. Switch the counter to Comment to check a reply before you post it.
- How long can a LinkedIn headline be?
- Around 220 characters, though search results and feed mentions often show fewer. Use the Headline setting to check yours.
- Is my text sent anywhere?
- No. Everything is counted in your browser and nothing you paste leaves your device.
