How to write captions that get read

Put the point in the first line

Most people only see the part before "more". Start with the hook or the offer, not with a greeting.

Hashtags go last

Keep 3 to 5 hashtags that describe the post at the end, so they never push the first line out of view.

Write for each platform

LinkedIn readers accept longer posts. On TikTok and Instagram the video carries the message and the caption backs it up.

One next step

End with one clear ask, like "comment LINK" or "shop the drop", instead of three.

2,200 characters. Only about the first 125 show in the feed before "more", and Instagram allows up to 5 hashtags per post.

How long can a TikTok caption be?

Up to 4,000 characters in the TikTok app. Tools that post through TikTok's API stop at 2,200. About the first 80 to 100 characters show on the video.

About 210. LinkedIn posts can be up to 3,000 characters long.

Do emoji count as more than one character?

This checker counts each emoji once, as you see it. Some platforms count some emoji as two, so leave a little room when you are close to a limit.

Is my text saved?

No. The checker runs in your browser and sends nothing to Bravio or anyone else.
