Reddit Character Counter
Type or paste and the count updates as you go. The big number tracks the 40,000-character post limit; the bars underneath show the same text against every other Reddit field, so you can check a bio, a comment and a post without switching tools.
Every Reddit limit
Characters are counted the way people see them: an emoji or an accented letter is one character, the same way Reddit counts.
Reddit character limits in 2026
Reddit titles are 300 characters, text posts 40,000, comments 10,000, usernames 3–20, display names 30 and bios 200.
How Reddit counts characters
Reddit counts characters roughly the way you see them: an emoji is one, an accented letter is one, a line break is one. This tool counts graphemes (user-perceived characters), which matches Reddit for everyday text. Some platforms' internals count emoji flags or skin tones as two, so if you are exactly at the limit, trim a few characters to be safe.
Writing to the Reddit limit
- On Reddit the title is the post. Specific, plain titles that match the subreddit's style get upvotes; anything that reads like marketing gets removed.
- Use "Trim to limit" to cut at the boundary, then rewrite the ending rather than leaving a cut-off sentence.
- Hashtags and mentions count in full.
