The short answer
LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters in the post.
What counts toward the limit
Letters, numbers, spaces, line breaks, emojis and hashtags count.
How much people actually see
In the feed only the first few lines show before "see more", commonly cited as about 140 characters on mobile. The hook has to fit there.
Tips for fitting your post
- Write a first line that stands on its own.
- Use short paragraphs and white space, since long blocks are skipped.
- Keep hashtags to a few at the end.
How this compares with other limits
| Platform | Field | Limit |

| X (Twitter) | Post | 280 |
| Post | 3,000 | |
| Threads | Post | 500 |
Limits come from platform help pages and published guides, and platforms change them. Where it matters, confirm in the app. See every limit on the character limits hub.
