Social Media Character Limits
Every platform has different limits. Twitter is famously strict at 280 characters, while LinkedIn allows 3,000. Knowing these limits helps you craft posts that say what you need without getting cut off.
Tip: for maximum engagement, most platforms reward shorter, punchier posts even when longer limits are available. Twitter sweet spot is 70-100 characters, Instagram captions perform best under 125 characters for feed posts.
