TikTok character counter
Count your TikTok caption against the 2,200-character limit.
TikTok captions can be up to 2,200 characters, including hashtags. Only the first line or two shows before the caption folds, and caption text is indexed by TikTok search, so keywords in the caption genuinely matter.
TikTok character limits
What counts, and what doesn't
- Hashtags count toward the 2,200 characters; there is no separate hashtag field.
- TikTok search indexes caption text, so write captions with the words people actually search.
- Only the first line or two displays before the fold on the For You feed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the TikTok caption limit?
2,200 characters. TikTok raised it from 300 in 2022, and captions are now long enough for real context and keywords.
Do hashtags count toward the TikTok caption limit?
Yes. Everything in the caption field, including hashtags and mentions, counts against the 2,200 characters.
Does caption length affect reach on TikTok?
Caption keywords matter more than length because TikTok search indexes them. Write a searchable first line, then add context.
