LinkedIn has a different limit for everything. 3,000 characters for a post, 1,250 for a comment, 220 for a headline, 2,600 for your About section and 200 for a connection note. Go over and LinkedIn just stops you typing, usually right in the middle of your best line.
This free LinkedIn character counter counts every letter, space, line break and emoji. Pick what you’re writing and it shows the limit, how many characters you have left, your word count and how long it takes to read. For posts, it also shows the exact spot where “…more” cuts your text on desktop and on a phone, so you know your hook fits.
Post: 3,000 characters. Comment: 1,250. Headline: 220. About section: 2,600. Connection note: 200 on a free account and 300 on Premium. Those are the ones you hit every week.
Tip: Spaces and line breaks count too. A post with a blank line after every sentence uses up its 3,000 characters, and its three visible lines, faster than you think.
LinkedIn shows about 210 characters on desktop and about 140 on a phone before it hides the rest behind “…more”. It also stops after three lines, and blank lines count. So a post that opens with one word, a blank line and another word shows almost nothing.
Your job is to fit the hook inside that space. Score it with the LinkedIn hook checker, and if you need a whole post from an idea, start with the LinkedIn post generator.
There’s no magic length. A sharp two-line post can do better than a 2,500-character essay. What matters is that every line earns the next one. If the reading time says two minutes, ask yourself whether you’d read two minutes of it from a stranger. Be honest.
Too long? Cut it with the LinkedIn readability checker. Ready to post? Add bold and lists in the LinkedIn post formatter. Writing a headline? The LinkedIn headline generator keeps every option under 220.

3,000 characters, spaces and line breaks included. About 210 of them show on desktop before “…more”, and about 140 on a phone.
1,250 characters. Most good comments use far fewer: two or three sentences that add something to the post.
200 characters on a free account and 300 with Premium. Pick “Connection note” and choose your account type to count against the right limit.
Yes. LinkedIn counts every space and line break as a character. The counter does too, and counts each emoji and bold letter as one character.
