Our Linkedin character counter tool helps users track the characters limit used in their posts, profiles, and messages on the platform.
Imagine you’re crafting a post about a recent project. As you type, the character counter displays “250/1300”. This means you’ve used 250 characters out of the 1300 available, allowing you to gauge how much space remains for your message.

LinkedIn Post Character Limit
For standard posts, LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters. This generous allowance provides ample space for sharing detailed insights, experiences, or professional updates. Itt’s worth noting that only the first 210-230 characters (about 2-3 lines) appear in the feed without users clicking “see more”.
To maximize engagement:
- Front-load key information
- Use compelling opening lines
- Incorporate line breaks for readability

Your LinkedIn headline, the text directly below your name, is limited to 220 characters. This concise space is crucial for making a strong first impression. Craft a headline that:
- Summarizes your professional identity
- Includes relevant keywords
- Highlights your unique value proposition
Example: “Digital Marketing Strategist | Driving Growth Through Data-Driven Campaigns | Forbes 30 Under 30”
LinkedIn Message Character Limit
When sending direct messages to connections, you have up to 15,000 characters at your disposal. This limit allows for detailed communications, but remember that brevity often leads to better engagement. Structure longer messages with:

Crafting compelling ad copy within these constraints requires precision and creativity. Focus on:

Aim to:
- Explain why you’re connecting
- Mention shared interests or mutual connections
- Keep it professional and concise

InMail, LinkedIn’s premium messaging feature, allows for longer communications with a limit of 200 characters for the subject line and 2,000 characters for the body.
When crafting InMails:
- Use an attention-grabbing subject line

Posts made on LinkedIn company pages have the same 3,000 character limit as personal posts. Company posts often benefit from a more structured approach:

Remember that company posts represent your brand voice, so maintain consistency in tone and messaging.
