A LinkedIn post (text update) allows up to 3,000 characters. On mobile, only about the first 210 characters show before the "see more" link, so your hook has to land in that window. This counter shows you exactly what appears above the fold as you type.
Your headline can be up to 220 characters. It appears under your name in the feed, in search results, on comments, and in connection requests — so it is the most-seen line on your profile. Lead with who you help and the outcome you create, not just your job title.
A connection request note is capped at 300 characters. The best ones are short, reference something specific about the person or their content, and avoid pitching. You do not need all 300 — two tight sentences usually outperform a full paragraph.
Yes. Spaces, line breaks, and punctuation all count toward the limit. Most emoji count as one or two characters depending on the emoji. This tool counts the same way LinkedIn does, plus gives you a separate "no spaces" count if you need it.
Track your prospects, get AI-suggested comments based on your playbook, and stay top of mind until they're ready to buy — in 15 minutes a day.
