LinkedIn Post Character Limit & Professional Length Tips
How long LinkedIn posts and headlines can be, and how to stay sharp with a free character counter.
LinkedIn allows long posts, but most readers only see the first few lines before “see more”.
Lead with a clear first sentence. Soft CTA at the end works better than a wall of hashtags.
Headlines and About sections have tighter limits — count characters, not only words.
Draft in a free counter, then paste into LinkedIn so mobile spacing does not surprise you.
Use wordcounter.co.in for a quick with-spaces character total before you publish.
