LinkedIn limits at a glance
The numbers the counter checks against.
- Post
- 3,000 characters
- Feed fold
- About 210 characters or 3 lines
- Headline
- 220 characters
The 3,000 characters matter less than the first 210
LinkedIn counts every character, including spaces, line breaks, emoji, and the full length of links. The feed shows about 210 characters or three lines before ...see more, so the opening carries the post.
Frequently asked questions
What is the LinkedIn character limit?
3,000 characters for a post. Headlines allow 220, comments 1,250, and the About section 2,600.
Does LinkedIn count spaces and line breaks?
Yes. Every space and line break counts, which is why a post with lots of short lines reaches the limit sooner than you expect.
Is my text or image uploaded anywhere?
No. The tool runs in your browser. Nothing you type or choose is sent to Distinctful or stored.
