Frequently asked questions
What is the LinkedIn character limit?+
LinkedIn limits vary by field: posts allow up to 3,000 characters, your headline 220, your About section 2,600, comments 1,250, and connection request notes 300. Posts also get truncated with a “…see more” link after about 210 characters in the feed.
How many characters before LinkedIn shows “see more”?+
On desktop, a LinkedIn post is truncated after roughly 210 characters (about 3 lines), after which readers must click “…see more”. Put your strongest hook in those first ~210 characters.
Is this LinkedIn character counter free?+
Yes. It's completely free, works instantly in your browser, and requires no sign-up. Nothing you type is sent to a server.
Does the counter include spaces and emojis?+
Yes. The character count includes spaces, line breaks, and emojis. Emojis are counted as single characters using grapheme segmentation, which matches what you see on screen.
What's the ideal length for a LinkedIn post?+
There's no single right answer, but many high-performing posts land between 900 and 1,300 characters. Most important is a strong hook in the first ~210 characters so people click “see more”.
