Tips for this platform

2,200 character limit

Captions max out at 2,200 characters. The feed truncates after ~125 characters with "more".

30 hashtag maximum

Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post. 7–11 is the engagement sweet spot per Hootsuite.

138–150 chars optimal

Research shows this range gets the best engagement — long enough to tell a story, short enough to finish.

Front-load your hook

The first 125 characters show in the feed. Make them count before "more" truncates.

Instagram Caption Counter — With Hashtag Tracker

Caption length strategies

Short (1–125 chars): fits in the feed without truncation. Good for quick captions.
Medium (138–150 chars): peak engagement per most studies.
Long (300+ chars): use for storytelling. Hook in first 125, then develop.
