About the Instagram Character Counter

Our free Instagram Character Counter tracks your caption length against Instagram's 2,200-character limit in real time — with a critical feature other counters miss: the 125-character truncation warning. Instagram only shows the first 125 characters of your caption in the feed before hiding the rest behind a "more" tap.

The counter also tracks every other Instagram character limit simultaneously: bio (150 chars), Direct Messages (1,000 chars), username (30 chars), profile name (30 chars), comments (2,200 chars), and hashtags — with an automatic hashtag detector that counts every # and warns you when you approach Instagram's 30-hashtag limit.
