How It Works
Write your caption or bio
Type or paste your Instagram caption, bio, or username into the editor and watch the count update instantly.
Choose the limit
Toggle between Caption (2,200), Bio (150), and Username (30) to measure against the right Instagram limit.
Check the cutoff and copy
See the live "… more" preview at 125 characters, adjust your hook, then copy your text into Instagram.
Popular Use Cases
Win the first 125 characters
Craft a hook that lands before the "… more" cutoff so people stop scrolling and tap to read the rest.
Perfect your 150-character bio
Fit your niche, value, and a call to action into the bio limit without anything getting clipped.
Keep captions on-brand and complete
Make sure long product captions stay under 2,200 characters and read cleanly in the feed.
Caption every format confidently
Use the same counter for Reels, carousels, and single posts so nothing ever gets cut short.
Manage your 30-hashtag budget
Track hashtags live so you stay at or below the 30-tag cap and avoid posts that fail to publish.
Plan campaign captions
Draft promotional captions with the right hook placement and length before scheduling them out.
💡 Pro Tips
Front-load your first 125 characters
The feed truncates captions at ~125 characters. Put your hook, question, or biggest benefit first so it shows before "… more".
Treat your bio like ad copy
With only 150 characters, every word matters. Lead with who you help and the outcome, then add one clear call to action.
Stay under 30 hashtags
Instagram rejects posts with more than 30 hashtags. Keep the live tally in view and favor a focused set of relevant tags.
Use line breaks for readability
Break long captions into short paragraphs. Pair this with a line break generator so the spacing survives when posted.
Keep emojis intentional
Emojis add personality and count toward your limit. A few well-placed ones beat a cluttered caption.
End with a clear CTA
Even long captions should close with one action — comment, save, or tap the link in bio — so engagement has somewhere to go.
