How It Works
Draft your post
Type or paste your LinkedIn post, headline, or About section into the editor. The count updates as you write.
Select the field
Toggle between Post (3,000), Headline (220), and About (2,600) so you measure against the correct limit.
Hook and copy
Use the ~210-character preview to perfect your opening line, then copy your text into LinkedIn.
Popular Use Cases
Master the "…see more" hook
Craft an opening that earns the click. The first ~210 characters decide whether your post gets expanded or scrolled past.
Write a standout 220-char headline
Move past your job title and use the full headline limit to say who you help and the results you create.
Keep company posts on-limit
Make sure organization page updates stay under 3,000 characters and read cleanly in the feed.
Plan long-form posts
Draft detailed posts up to 3,000 characters with confident hook placement and clean formatting.
Optimize your About section
Fill the 2,600-character About section with a story that builds trust without running over.
Fit campaign messaging
Draft promotional updates with the right length and a strong first line before scheduling them.
💡 Pro Tips
Win the first 210 characters
LinkedIn collapses posts behind "…see more" around 210 characters. Open with a bold statement or question so readers expand the rest.
Use white space generously
Short paragraphs and line breaks make posts scannable on mobile. Avoid dense blocks of text even when you have 3,000 characters.
Go beyond your job title in the headline
With 220 characters, describe the outcome you deliver, not just your role. Add keywords recruiters and clients search for.
Lead the About section with your strongest line
Only the first lines show before "…see more". Put your biggest credibility or value statement first.
Keep emojis professional
A few emojis can add warmth and structure, but they count toward your limit — use them to guide the eye, not decorate.
End with one clear call to action
Whether it is a comment prompt or a link, close with a single ask so engagement has a clear direction.
