Facebook Post Character Counter

About Facebook Character Limits

While Facebook allows extremely long posts (up to 63,206 characters), data shows that shorter posts typically perform better. Posts under 250 characters tend to get higher engagement rates. Facebook's algorithm favors content that sparks meaningful interactions. Whether you write a short, punchy update or a longer storytelling post, focus on creating value for your audience. The platform truncates posts after about 477 characters, so front-load important information.
