LinkedIn Character Counter

LinkedIn posts allow 3,000 characters, but the feed collapses them after roughly 210 characters on desktop and around 140 on mobile. The first two lines are the only part most people read.

The counter below covers posts, comments, headlines and the About section so you never hit a silent truncation again.

        Tips for writing LinkedIn copy

        • Write the hook as a standalone first line - it is the only line guaranteed to be read.
        • Add three to five line breaks before the body so the See more cut lands where you want it.
        • A 220 character headline is prime search real estate: include the role and the outcome.
        • Keep comments under 1,250 characters; longer replies get rejected without warning.
