Facebook character counter
Counts the way Facebook counts, and shows you the exact text that gets cropped. Nothing you type or attach leaves your browser.
Counted in Unicode code points: one plain character is one, and a link costs its full length.
Nothing you type or attach leaves this tab - no upload, no account, no server.
What actually costs characters on Facebook
63,206 characters is the largest allowance of anything we publish to, and it is not a number anyone writes toward - it exists so that a pasted article never fails. Facebook counts code points and renders plain text. The real constraint on a Page post is not the ceiling, it is that long posts collapse in the feed and the reach of a post is decided in the lines above that collapse.
Three posts Facebook cuts
- A whole blog post pasted in6,000 characters of an article.Publishes intact - it is a tenth of the limit. Nothing is cut and almost nothing is read: the post is three lines and a link people have to open.
- Eleven photosAn album attached to one post.Refused at eleven. A Page post takes up to 10 images, and images or a video, never both.
- A video with the post text as its bodyA video upload with 800 characters of writing.The video publishes as a Reel and the text becomes its description - Meta has shared every Page video as a Reel since June 2025, so the writing lands in a Reel's caption slot rather than a feed post.
Only on Facebook
- Up to 10 images in one post, or one video, never both.
- A video publishes as a Reel and the post text becomes its description.
- The 63,206-character ceiling is effectively unreachable - the fold, not the limit, is what edits a Page post.
Questions
- Is this Facebook character counter free?
- Yes. There is no login and no upload: it runs entirely in your browser, and nothing you type or attach leaves your device.
- How long can a Facebook Page post be?
- 63,206 characters. Counted in Unicode code points: one plain character is one, and a link costs its full length.
- How long can a Facebook Page post be before it gets cut off?
- The ceiling is 63,206 characters and nothing reaches it. What cuts a Page post is the feed's own clamp at about three lines, measured in rendered height rather than characters, which is why the thresholds quoted online disagree with each other.
- What happens if a Facebook post goes over the limit?
- Facebook crops or refuses it. The counter marks the exact tail that would be lost, so you can cut the right words instead of guessing.
