Caption limits + hashtag rules

Caption limits in 2026: Instagram and TikTok ≈ 2,200 characters, LinkedIn 3,000, Threads 500, and X (Twitter) 280. For hashtags, Instagram allows up to 30 — but 3–8 specific, relevant tags outperform a 30-tag block, which no longer buys reach. This checker counts Arabic and emoji correctly, so the numbers match what the platforms see.

FAQ

How many characters can an Instagram caption be?

Instagram captions allow up to 2,200 characters. TikTok also allows ~2,200, while X (Twitter) caps at 280, Threads at 500, and LinkedIn at 3,000. This tool flags exactly which platforms your caption fits.

How many hashtags should I use in 2026?

Three to eight specific, relevant hashtags. Instagram allows up to 30, but using all of them no longer boosts reach and can look spammy. This checker warns you when you go over the 3–8 sweet spot.

Does this work for Arabic captions?

Yes. Character counting is Unicode-safe and hashtag detection recognises Arabic-script tags, so the counts are accurate for Arabic, English, and emoji.

Is anything sent to a server?

No. The check runs entirely in your browser — your caption never leaves your device.
