How it works

  1. 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. 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. 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 TikTok caption character limit?

The TikTok caption limit is 4,000 characters. Raised from 2,200; some older drafts may still cap lower.

Does TikTok count emojis as one character?

This counter measures characters by Unicode code point, so most emojis count as one — the same way TikTok 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 TikTok bio be?

Your TikTok bio can be up to 80 characters. Switch the field selector to “Bio” to count against that limit.

Is this TikTok character counter free?

Yes. It’s completely free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser — your text never leaves your device.
