Why Character Limits Matter
Every social media platform has its own rules for post length. Staying within these limits is essential for ensuring your full message is seen by your audience. Going over can lead to your post being awkwardly cut off, losing its impact.
Common Character Limits
Twitter (X)
The classic limit is **280 characters**. For X Premium subscribers, this extends to 25,000, but brevity is still key for engagement on the platform.
Captions are limited to **2,200 characters**. However, only the first 125 characters are visible in the feed without tapping “more,” making your opening line critical.
While technically allowing up to **63,206 characters**, posts are truncated after about 400-500 characters. For ads, the recommended length is much shorter.
Posts are limited to **3,000 characters**. This allows for more in-depth, professional content compared to other platforms.
