How it works
Use the LinkedIn character counter to paste a post draft and instantly see character count, word count, line count, hashtag count, warning thresholds, and copy-ready output without signing up.
The LinkedIn character counter checks your post length against the LinkedIn post character limit without signing up. It also counts words, lines, and hashtags so you can decide whether the post is readable before publishing.
Use it as a LinkedIn character counter, LinkedIn post counter, or quick LinkedIn post character limit checker before sending the text to the formatter or preview tool.
LinkedIn Help lists the standard post character limit as 3,000 characters. The practical feed constraint is much tighter because the first visible lines decide whether someone clicks see more.
A post can be under the limit and still feel too long. Check the character count, line count, and opening lines together.
Shorten the post when the opening takes too long, the same point repeats, or the CTA appears only after a long scroll.
If the idea needs more space, turn it into a carousel instead of forcing every point into one text post.
Paste a draft, check whether it is near 3,000 characters, then cut repeated lines before previewing.
Count hashtags, remove broad extras, and keep the strongest topic tags.
Use the counter after generating a post and before sending it into the formatter.
FAQ

No. Use only the space the idea needs. Preview the first fold because readers often decide before the full post is visible.
