Write the Perfect Facebook Post Every Time

Whether you are running a high-converting digital marketing campaign, managing a local business page, or simply sharing a personal update, the length of your text matters. If your Facebook ad copy is too long, it gets truncated (cut off with a "See More" link), which can severely lower your click-through rates. If your bio is too wordy, it won't save.

Our Facebook Character Counter takes the guesswork out of social media copywriting. By pasting your draft into our tool, you instantly see exactly how many characters and words you've used, helping you craft punchy, optimized, and fully visible content before you hit publish.

Know Your Facebook Character Limits

Facebook has different text limits depending on where you are posting. Use our tool to stay within these critical boundaries:

Standard Facebook Post: 63,206 characters. (However, keeping it under 80 characters often yields higher engagement!)
Facebook Ads (Primary Text): 125 characters recommended before truncating.
Facebook Ads (Headline): 27 to 40 characters recommended.
Facebook Ads (Link Description): 30 characters recommended.
Facebook Page Description (About): 255 characters.
Facebook Comments: 8,000 characters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does this tool count spaces as characters?

Yes. Like Facebook and most social media platforms, our tool counts spaces and punctuation marks as individual characters to give you a 100% accurate reading.

What happens if my Facebook ad text is too long?

If your primary text exceeds 125 characters, Facebook will truncate it and add a "See More" button. While allowed, it can hide important hooks or links, potentially reducing your ad's effectiveness.

Is my text saved or stored anywhere?

No. Your privacy is our priority. All text processing happens locally in your browser, meaning none of your drafts, ad copy, or personal information is ever saved or stored on our servers.
