About the Facebook Character Counter

Our free Facebook Character Counter tracks your text against every Facebook character limit in real time. Facebook posts technically support up to 63,206 characters — but posts with 40–80 characters consistently get the highest organic reach and engagement.

The sidebar tracks every other Facebook field simultaneously: comments (8,000 chars), ad primary text (125 chars visible), ad headline (40 chars), ad description (30 chars), page name (75 chars), group name (75 chars), and event title (64 chars). All fields update live as you type, with colour-coded warnings at 80% and 100% of each limit.
