Instagram Caption Counter

Instagram caps a single caption at 2,200 characters and allows up to 30 hashtags per post (counting hashtags in both the caption and the first comment combined). In the feed and on profiles, only roughly the first 125 characters render before Instagram truncates the rest behind a 'more' link, so the opening line is your real hook. This tool measures three things live as you type: the raw character count (JavaScript string length, which counts every character including spaces, line breaks, and emoji code units), the number of hashtags, and the number of line breaks. Hashtags are detected with a simple pattern that matches a '#' followed by word characters (letters A-Z, digits, and underscore). That pattern is deliberately basic: it will not match hashtags containing accented or non-Latin letters, and it stops at the first emoji, hyphen, or other punctuation, so an exotic tag can be miscounted. Treat the hashtag number as a close guide rather than an exact audit. The 125-character preview figure is an approximation Instagram itself varies by device and screen width; nothing here is rounded or trimmed for you.
