Instagram Character Counter

2,200 characters, including spaces, emojis, and hashtags — the same limit applies to comments.

150 characters — noticeably shorter than a caption, which is why the Bio mode here uses a separate, stricter limit.

Instagram only shows roughly the first 125 characters of a caption in the main feed before truncating it behind a "...more" link — this tool flags when your caption would be cut off there, so you can put your hook before that point.

Yes — every character in a hashtag counts toward the same 2,200-character caption limit, which is why this tool also shows a running hashtag count.

Most emojis are counted the same way Instagram counts them, though some complex multi-part emojis (like certain flag or skin-tone combinations) can be counted slightly differently across platforms — treat the count as very close, not always pixel-perfect.
