How It Works
Write your post
Type or paste your Facebook post, intro, or comment into the editor and watch the live character count.
Choose the field
Toggle between Post, Bio / Intro (101), and Comment (8,000) to measure against the right limit.
Beat the cutoff and copy
Use the ~477-character "See more" preview to keep your message visible, then copy your text into Facebook.
Popular Use Cases
Stay above the "See more" fold
Keep your core message within ~477 characters so people read it without clicking to expand.
Write a tight 101-char intro
Sum up who you are or what your page does in the short intro without getting cut off.
Keep page posts punchy
Draft page updates that stay short and scannable for the strongest organic reach.
Plan engaging group posts
Write group prompts and announcements with a front-loaded hook that shows in the feed.
Draft detailed comment replies
Use the 8,000-character comment limit for thorough responses while keeping them within bounds.
Tighten ad and promo copy
Keep primary ad text front-loaded so the key message survives Facebook truncation.
💡 Pro Tips
Keep the message above "See more"
Facebook hides text after ~477 characters. Put your hook and key point first so readers never need to expand.
Shorter usually wins
Posts under ~80 characters often get the most engagement on Facebook. Treat the big limit as headroom, not a target.
Make your intro a one-liner
With only 101 characters, your intro should be a single clear sentence about who you are or what you offer.
Use line breaks for skimmability
Break longer posts into short lines. Pair with a line break generator if spacing collapses when you paste.
Front-load ad primary text
Ad primary text truncates around 125 characters. Lead with the benefit and CTA before that point.
Limit hashtags
Hashtags are less powerful on Facebook than other platforms. One or two relevant tags is plenty.
