Truncated in the feed with a "more" link after 477 characters

How it works

  1. 1

    Type or paste your text

    Write directly in the field or paste from another program. Emojis, hashtags and line breaks all work as usual.

  2. 2

    Watch the count live

    Characters and words are tallied instantly — emojis correctly as one visible character. The bars show how much room is left on Facebook.

  3. 3

    Trim and publish

    A red bar means you are over the limit and Facebook would cut your text off. Trim until everything fits, then move the text into your post.

Popular use cases

  • Content creators

    No more truncated text

    Check before posting that your message lands in full — instead of finding out that Facebook cut off the key call-to-action.

  • Cross-posting

    One text, many platforms

    Adapt the same post to different limits. What fits on one platform is often already too long on the next.

  • Agencies

    Approvals without surprises

    Show clients up front how much text actually stays visible — and avoid revision loops after going live.

  • E-commerce

    Product copy that fits

    Write product descriptions that use the full limit without losing key details or your shop link.

  • Profile optimisation

    A bio that lands

    Bio fields are usually much tighter than posts. Refine every word until your positioning fits the space available.

  • Editorial planning

    Produce text ahead of time

    Write posts in advance and make sure they pass without rework when you publish later.

Facebook is extremely generous at 63,206 characters per post — so the limit is practically never the problem. The profile intro, at 101 characters, is very tight by contrast.

Something else matters more: in the feed your post is truncated with a "See more" link after around 477 characters. This counter shows you live where you stand.
