FAQ
Character Counter FAQ
What are the Instagram character limits?+
Captions and comments allow up to 2,200 characters; bios allow 150. This tool tracks both modes with green / yellow / red threshold bars.
How many hashtags and mentions can I use?+
Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post, but 3–5 targeted tags usually perform best — the tool warns past 5 and errors past 30. Mentions cap at 10 per post.
What is emoji density?+
The share of your text made of emoji characters. Above ~20% the tool warns, since emoji-heavy captions can read as spammy.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?+
No. Counting runs entirely in your browser with regex and token parsing — nothing is sent to a server.
