Free tool to count characters, words, hashtags and emojis for social media captions against platform limits.

GoSaveTool Character Counter is a free online tool that counts characters, words, hashtags, mentions, emojis and line breaks in your text and shows how your caption fits against the limits of Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Threads. As you type or paste your text, the counter updates in real time and displays progress bars for each platform's character limit. The tool includes features to clean text by adding line breaks, removing hashtags, and tidying spaces. It also treats links correctly for each platform, counting them as fixed 23 characters on X while showing full length on other networks.

Measured after GoSaveTool Character Counter went live on Zivaro Launch on 1 November 2026.
Day 1 since launch. Next receipt: day 30, 1 Dec 2026. These are measurements, not proof of cause: many things move these numbers. Figures we have not measured are left out.
The counter uses 2,200 characters for an Instagram caption. Keep the first line short, because the feed cuts the rest of the text after a few words.
Most emojis count as one character. A few emojis made of several joined symbols count as more, so check the total if you use many of them.
Yes, in this browser only. The last text is saved locally so you can continue later, and nothing is sent to the GoSaveTool server.
Yes. The counter includes a YouTube description limit of 5,000 characters, which is much longer than a title.
X allows 280 characters per post. Links count as 23 characters on X, so a post with a link has more room than the raw length suggests.
