How to use character counter for LinkedIn?

1

Enter Your Text

Type directly or paste your content into the text box. The character counter instantly updates and shows you how many characters you've used against the limit.

2

Monitor Character Usage

Keep an eye on the character progress bars to ensure your content fits LinkedIn's strict thresholds for posts, about sections, and messages.

3

Use Truncation to Your Advantage

Adjust your post hook to get the most important information before the 210-character truncation limit. This ensures your main point is visible without clicking 'see more'.

4

Copy or Clear Your Text

Easily copy your text to LinkedIn when ready, or use the clear button to start over with a fresh text box.
