Why use the LinkedIn Character Counter?

LinkedIn enforces a 3,000-character limit on posts, and going over means your content is cut off or rejected. This counter tracks characters in real time as you type so professionals, B2B marketers, and job seekers can trim to fit before publishing — no guessing, no surprises after you hit post.

Tips for LinkedIn

  • LinkedIn truncates posts after about three lines with a “see more” link, so the first sentence has to earn the click — front-load the important words.
  • Spaces, emojis, and line breaks all count toward the limit on LinkedIn.
  • Links on LinkedIn often count their full length, so account for URLs in your total.

Frequently asked questions

What is the LinkedIn character limit?

3,000 characters. This tool counts against the 3,000-character limit live as you type.

Do emojis and spaces count toward the LinkedIn limit?

Yes. Spaces, line breaks, and emojis all consume characters on LinkedIn. Some emojis count as two characters because of how they're encoded, and this counter reflects that.

Is the LinkedIn character counter free and private?

Yes. It runs entirely in your browser — your text is never uploaded or stored — and there's no sign-up or usage limit.
