TikTok Caption Character Count Best Practices
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.
