How to use the IG caption counter
An ig caption counter helps before you paste into Instagram: the network allows 2,200 characters, but the feed preview cuts off around 125. Draft here, watch the fold line, then copy when the hook fits above the fold.
Hashtags count toward the 2,200 cap. A common pattern is 3–5 hashtags in the caption and the rest in the first comment, but only the caption length is what this tool measures for publish validation.
Instagram bios are separate: 150 characters with line breaks. Switch to the bio generator if you are tuning profile copy instead of a post caption.
SocialRobot validates the same 2,200 post cap when you schedule. Counting here first avoids composer errors on long carousel captions or multi-paragraph drafts.
