Facebook character counter
The Facebook limit is 8,000 characters per post. Paste your text to get the exact count, plus whether it fits on every other platform.
How Facebook counts characters
Every character counts. Facebook itself accepts far longer posts, and 8,000 is the limit Socialync publishes, which covers almost any real post.
Long Facebook posts are cut off in the feed with a "See more" link, so lead with the point.
Frequently asked questions

What happens if my Facebook post is over the limit?
Facebook refuses or cuts text that runs past the limit. Socialync checks the count before it publishes and tells you which platform is over, so you can shorten it or write a separate Facebook version.
Can I post the same text to Facebook and other platforms at once?
Yes. Socialync publishes one post to all 9 platforms at once and lets you write a separate caption for any platform with a tighter limit. The free plan needs no card.
