TikTok character counter
The TikTok limit is 2,200 characters per caption. Paste your text to get the exact count, plus whether it fits on every other platform.
How TikTok counts characters
Every character counts, including hashtags and mentions. Posts published through TikTok's posting API, which schedulers use, are capped at 2,200.
The TikTok app itself allows longer captions than its posting API does.
Frequently asked questions
What is the TikTok character limit?
2,200 characters for a caption. Every character counts, including hashtags and mentions. Posts published through TikTok's posting API, which schedulers use, are capped at 2,200.
What happens if my TikTok caption is over the limit?
TikTok 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 TikTok version.
Can I post the same text to TikTok 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.
