What are the character limits on social media?

Instagram and TikTok captions allow 2,200 characters, X allows 280 on a standard account, LinkedIn posts 3,000, Threads 500, Pinterest descriptions 500, YouTube descriptions 5,000 and Facebook posts 63,206.

Why does X count my post differently?

X uses weighted counting: every link counts as 23 characters, and emoji and many non-Latin characters count as 2. This counter applies the same rules.

Is my text stored?

No. The count runs entirely in your browser and nothing you type is sent to PostVIA.

Can I publish the same post to every network at once?

Yes. PostVIA lets you write a post once, adjust the caption where a network needs a shorter version and schedule it to all eight networks from one calendar.
