Facebook Character Counter

While Facebook allows 63,206 characters, shorter is often better:

• Optimal length is 40-80 characters: Short posts get 86% more engagement than longer ones.
• Use 120-150 for storytelling: When sharing stories, aim for 1-2 short paragraphs.
• First 2-3 lines matter: These show before "See more" - make them compelling.
• Break up long posts: Use line breaks and spacing to make text scannable.
• Include clear CTAs: Tell people what action to take within the first few lines.
• Use emojis sparingly: 1-3 emojis add personality without cluttering your message.

Track your Facebook post characters effectively:

1. Write your post: Enter your Facebook post text into the counter.
2. Monitor character count: See your character count update in real-time.
3. Check engagement zones: Aim for 40-80 characters for maximum engagement.
4. Review line breaks: Ensure your post is formatted with proper spacing.
5. Copy and post: Once optimized, copy your text and post on Facebook.

Character counting improves Facebook post performance:

• Optimize for engagement: Shorter posts (40-80 chars) get significantly more engagement.
• Improve readability: Track length to ensure posts are scannable and readable.
• Front-load value: Make the first lines count before the "See more" cutoff.
• Balance storytelling: Find the sweet spot between brevity and detail.
• Professional content: Well-crafted posts show attention to quality.

Make the most of Facebook's character limit:

• Shorter is better: Posts under 80 characters get 66% more engagement.
• Front-load key info: Put your main message in the first 2-3 lines.
• Use line breaks: Break up text to make it more scannable and engaging.
• Test different lengths: Experiment with short vs. long posts for your audience.
• Quality over quantity: Don't use all 63,206 characters just because you can.
• Clear CTAs: Include a clear call-to-action early in your post.
