TikTok Character Counter

TikTok captions can be up to 2,200 characters, but shorter is often better:

• Keep it short and punchy: Most successful TikToks use 50-150 characters for captions.
• First line is crucial: The first few words show before "...more" - make them compelling.
• Use 3-5 hashtags: Mix trending and niche hashtags for optimal discoverability.
• Include a hook or question: Encourage viewers to comment and engage with your content.
• Match caption to video: Your caption should complement, not duplicate, what's in the video.
• Use emojis for personality: Emojis add visual interest and personality to captions.
