LinkedIn character counter
Count characters in your LinkedIn post. 3,000 char limit with 'see more' fold tracking.
about the linkedin character counter
LinkedIn posts support up to 3,000 characters, but that limit is rarely the real constraint — the 'see more' fold at roughly 150 characters is. This free counter shows both: your total character count against the 3,000-character post limit and where your text will be cut off in the feed preview.
Articles on LinkedIn have a separate limit of 125,000 characters and headlines cap at 220. This counter handles standard LinkedIn post formatting — the type of content most creators write every day.
Keep your first-line hook punchy enough to earn the 'see more' click, then use the full 3,000 characters to deliver real value. Longer, substantive posts consistently outperform short ones on LinkedIn if the hook works.
