Frequently Asked Questions
What is Twitter's character limit?
Twitter (now X) allows 280 characters per tweet. Our character counter shows a real-time bar indicating how close you are to the limit, so you never accidentally go over when drafting tweets or replying.
What is Instagram's bio character limit?
Instagram allows 150 characters in your bio. Our counter tracks this with a visual limit bar, making it easy to craft a bio that fits without constant manual counting.
How many characters can an SMS have?
A standard SMS has a limit of 160 characters using GSM encoding. If your message exceeds 160 characters, it is split into multiple messages (concatenated SMS), each of which costs an additional message unit. Our counter highlights when you pass 160 characters.
How long should a meta description be?
Google typically displays meta descriptions up to 155–160 characters. Descriptions longer than this are truncated with '...' in search results. Keeping your meta description under 160 characters ensures it displays in full, which helps click-through rates.
