TikTok Caption Character Counter

About TikTok Character Limits

TikTok captions can be up to 2,200 characters, but only the first 80-100 characters are visible without tapping 'more.' Since TikTok is video-first, captions often play a supporting role. Effective TikTok captions hook viewers immediately, include relevant hashtags for discoverability, and often end with a question or call-to-action. Many creators use captions to provide context, add humor, or encourage duets and stitches. The key is complementing your video content, not repeating it.
