Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum character limit for an Instagram caption?

Instagram allows up to 2,200 characters per post caption. However, only the first 125 characters show before the '...more' link, so keep key hooks at the beginning.

How many hashtags can I use in an Instagram caption?

Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post. Our counter automatically detects all #hashtags and shows your current count.

Is my draft text or caption uploaded to any server?

Never. All text analysis is processed 100% client-side in your browser memory for total privacy.
