Threads character counter
The Threads limit is 500 characters per post. Paste your text to get the exact count, plus whether it fits on every other platform.
How Threads counts characters
Threads counts each Unicode code point. Most emoji count as 1, but emoji built from several symbols, like some family and flag emoji, count as more.
Threads also caps a post at 5 links.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Threads character limit?
500 characters for a post. Threads counts each Unicode code point. Most emoji count as 1, but emoji built from several symbols, like some family and flag emoji, count as more.
What happens if my Threads post is over the limit?
Threads 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 Threads version.
Can I post the same text to Threads 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.
