LinkedIn character limits at a glance
Frequently asked questions
What is the LinkedIn character limit?
LinkedIn’s limits are: headline 220 characters, post 3,000, About section 2,600, connection request note 300 (200 on free accounts), and comment 1,250. This counter checks your text against all of them at once.
Why does my post get cut off with “…see more”?
LinkedIn truncates the feed preview long before the 3,000-character limit — around 210 characters on mobile and 700 on desktop. Put your hook and most important line first; this tool marks both cutoffs as you type.
How many characters of my headline are actually visible?
Only about the first 70 characters of your headline show in search results and connection cards, so front-load what matters most.
Is this character counter free?
Yes — completely free, no signup, and it runs entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
