FAQ
What's TikTok's actual caption limit?
2,200 characters, including spaces, emoji, hashtags, and mentions — though only the first couple of lines show before "more" truncates the rest in-feed.
Do emoji count as more than one character?
Some emoji are technically multiple Unicode code points (like flags or skin-tone variants), and this counter uses code-point-aware counting so it matches how TikTok counts them.
Why track hashtags and mentions separately?
Both count toward your caption length and TikTok caps hashtags in practice for algorithmic reasons — keeping an eye on the count helps avoid an accidentally hashtag-stuffed caption.
Is my caption sent anywhere?
No — counting and pattern matching happen entirely in your browser as you type.
