LinkedIn Character Counter

How to use

1. 1Type or paste your copy into the Post, Headline, About, Connection note, or Comment field, or click Load sample to start from a realistic example.
2. 2Watch the per-field counter: it turns amber as you approach the limit and red if you go over (3,000 post, 220 headline, 2,600 About, 300 connection note, 1,250 comment).
3. 3Switch the preview to Desktop or Mobile to see where the 'see more' link cuts off your post and how much of the hook is visible above the fold.
4. 4Read the post analysis panel for lines, hashtags, mentions, links, and the count of visible characters before truncation.
5. 5Click Copy report to copy a clean text summary of every field, count, and status, or Clear all to start a new draft.

About this tool

LinkedIn Character Counter counts every LinkedIn field type against the limits LinkedIn enforces at save time and shows a live preview of the feed and profile. Type into the Post, Headline, About, Connection note, and Comment fields and each one shows its character count, remaining characters, and a green, amber, or red status counter that flips as you approach or exceed the limit. The tool counts characters by grapheme cluster using Intl.Segmenter where available, so a flag emoji, a surrogate-pair pictograph, or an accented letter built from combining marks counts as one character the same way the LinkedIn UI does. The feed preview reproduces the LinkedIn feed card layout: profile photo placeholder, name, headline, post time, the post body truncated behind a 'see more' link, and the Like, Comment, Repost, Send action row; switch between desktop and mobile to see how the post is truncated at the widely cited 210 character (desktop) or 140 character (mobile) cutoff. The profile preview shows the name, headline, location, and About section laid out the way they appear at the top of a LinkedIn profile. The post analysis panel counts lines, hashtags, mentions, and external links in the post body, plus the number of characters visible before the 'see more' fold, so you can fit your hook above the line where the feed truncates. A limits cheat sheet keeps every LinkedIn character limit visible while you write, including the related caps for article title (100), article body (110,000), company tagline (120), and company description (2,000). Useful for personal-brand creators planning the first line of a feed post, recruiters writing connection request notes that need to land in 300 characters, founders and freelancers optimizing their headline and About section for LinkedIn search, social media managers running multiple client accounts, and anyone tired of pasting copy into the LinkedIn composer just to learn it is over the limit. Everything runs locally in your browser; no posts, headlines, About text, notes, or comments are uploaded, logged, or shared, so confidential drafts stay on your device. Limits are based on LinkedIn's published policies and may change over time; the 'see more' cutoff varies by viewport and post type and is not published by LinkedIn, so treat the 210 and 140 character values as planning guidelines, not exact pixel positions.
