TikTok Character Counter
Count characters for TikTok captions live against the 2,200 limit.
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.
What this tool does
Checks your TikTok caption length live against TikTok's 2,200-character limit as you type, with a clear warning as soon as you go over.
How to use it
Make sure the TikTok tab is selected, then type or paste your caption — the running character count and limit appear immediately below it.
Worked example
A caption like "New drop 🔥🔥 link in bio! #newarrivals #shoplocal" counts as 48 characters here, comfortably under the 2,200-character limit, with the hashtags and both fire emoji all included in that total.
What counts toward the limit
Every character you type counts, including spaces, hashtags, @mentions, emoji, and line breaks — there's no separate allowance or exclusion for any of these, matching how TikTok counts caption length.
Checking other platforms in the same tool
The same counter also has tabs for Instagram, YouTube, and X/Twitter, each with its own limit — useful if you're adapting one caption across platforms and want to see which version needs trimming.
Limitations
This is a plain character count against the length limit only — it doesn't check TikTok's content policies, hashtag restrictions, or whether specific characters render correctly in every TikTok client.
Privacy
Everything is counted locally in your browser as you type — your caption is never uploaded anywhere.
