Threads character limits
The current Threads limits this counter tracks. Front-load the text that needs to show before the “more” fold, then trim the rest to stay inside each limit.
| Field | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Post | 500 | — |
| Bio | 150 | — |
| Username | 30 | — |
How it works
- 1
Paste or type your text
Drop in a caption, bio, post, or description. The counter updates as you type — nothing is sent anywhere.
- 2
Pick the field you’re writing for
Switch between caption, bio, title, and other limits so the progress bar matches what you’re actually posting.
- 3
Trim until you’re in the green
Watch characters, words, lines, and hashtags. Stay under the limit and front-load the part that shows before the fold.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Threads post character limit?
The Threads post limit is 500 characters. This counter tracks your text against that limit in real time.
Does Threads count emojis as one character?
This counter measures characters by Unicode code point, so most emojis count as one — the same way Threads typically counts them. A few combined emojis (like some flags or skin-tone variants) can count as more, so leave a little buffer near the limit.
How long can my Threads bio be?
Your Threads bio can be up to 150 characters. Switch the field selector to “Bio” to count against that limit.
Is this Threads character counter free?
Yes. It’s completely free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser — your text never leaves your device.
