Threads character counter

Threads allows 500 characters per post — more than X or Bluesky. Check your post here before you share it, and see which other networks it fits.

Words: 0 · Hashtags: 0

  • Threads 0 / 500
  • Same text on other platforms
  • X (Twitter) 0 / 280

    Links count as 23. Emoji and most non-Latin characters count as 2.

  • Bluesky 0 / 300

    Counts graphemes: an emoji or an accented letter counts as one.

  • Mastodon 0 / 500

    Links count as 23. 500 is the default; some servers allow more.

  • Instagram 0 / 2,200

    At most 30 hashtags per caption.

  • LinkedIn 0 / 3,000
  • Facebook 0 / 63,206

Counting happens in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

How Threads counts characters

  • Each post can have up to 500 characters.
  • Images and videos do not count toward the limit.
  • A Threads post often needs trimming for Bluesky (300) or X (280).

Frequently asked questions

What is the character limit on Threads?

500 characters per post. Reply to your own post if you need more space.

Will my Threads post fit on X and Bluesky?

Only if it is short enough. The counter shows the same text against X's 280 and Bluesky's 300 so you can see what to cut.
