LinkedIn Character Counter
Count characters in real-time. Check the 3,000-character limit and the 210-character …more fold.
Why LinkedIn Character Count Matters
LinkedIn has a 3,000-character limit for posts. Exceed it and your post gets cut off. But there's another limit that matters even more: the 210-character fold.
The …more Fold
LinkedIn shows roughly the first three lines of your post (about 210 characters) before hiding the rest behind a "…more" link. If your hook doesn't land before the fold, most readers never see the rest.
How to Use This Tool
- Paste your LinkedIn post in the input box
- Watch the character count update in real-time
- Check the status: under 2,800 is safe, 2,800-3,000 is approaching the limit, over 3,000 is too long
- Edit your post until it's under the limit
This tool counts every character including spaces, line breaks, and emojis. It's the same count LinkedIn uses.
