Discord character counter
Count your Discord message against the 2,000-character limit (4,000 with Nitro).
Discord messages are capped at 2,000 characters for regular accounts and 4,000 for Nitro subscribers. Markdown formatting characters count, and over-limit text is offered back to you as a file attachment instead.
Discord character limits
What counts, and what doesn't
- Markdown syntax (asterisks, backticks, brackets) counts toward the limit.
- Paste something over the cap and Discord offers to send it as a .txt attachment instead of a message.
- Announcement-channel posts follow the same message limits as any other channel.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Discord character limit?
2,000 characters per message on a regular account, 4,000 with Nitro.
Do formatting characters count?
Yes. Bold markers, code fences, and link syntax all count as typed characters.
How do I post something longer than 2,000 characters?
Split it into multiple messages, use a thread, or let Discord attach it as a text file. For community announcements, shorter messages get read more anyway.
Write once, and it just fits
posthell tailors your post per network and warns you the moment a version runs over, so you never ship a truncated Discord post. Schedule to 15 networks from one box.
