Questions.
What is the character limit on LinkedIn?
3,000 characters a post. LinkedIn won’t post more.
How does LinkedIn count characters?
Letters, numbers, spaces, punctuation and line breaks count 1 each, and so do Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters. Most emoji count 2; an emoji with a skin tone, or a flag, counts 4, and a family 8 or more. Bold and italic letters from a text formatter count 2 each. A link counts its full length.
Where does …see more cut a post?
After three lines in the feed, on desktop and on a phone, and sooner when the third line is blank. That is about 230 characters of plain text on desktop and 155 on a phone; the counter marks where it falls in your text.
Do hashtags and mentions count?
Yes. A hashtag counts every character, the # included, and a mention counts the name it shows.
Is my text uploaded?
No. It is counted in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or stored, and the page sets no cookies.
