About this tool
This page opens the character counter preset to LinkedIn posts: write or paste your post and track the 3,000-character limit with a live bar and remaining count.
LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters in a regular post, but the feed truncates it after roughly the first 200 with a "see more" link — so the practical craft is a strong opening within the fold and a total that stays under the cap. The counter gives you both numbers at a glance while you edit.
If you cross the limit, the bar and the remaining counter turn red so you can trim before publishing. The text stays in your browser: nothing is uploaded, which matters when you are drafting announcements that are not public yet.
Example. The word hello counts as 5 characters, leaving 275 of the 280 Twitter/X limit and one GSM-7 SMS segment with 155 characters spare.
Limit. One character outside the GSM-7 alphabet switches the whole message to UCS-2, 70 characters or 67 per split segment, and the Twitter tally does not apply CJK double-weight or t.co link length.
