Tips for Facebook

  • the 63,206-character limit is effectively unlimited, yet only the first ~480 characters show before “See more” — front-load the important words.
  • Spaces, emojis, and line breaks all count toward the limit on Facebook.
  • Links on Facebook often count their full length, so account for URLs in your total.
