The TikTok caption length limit is 2,200 characters. Paste your caption above to count it. Spaces, line breaks, emoji, @mentions and hashtags all count, and on a long caption the hashtags are usually what fills it rather than the sentence.
2,200 is recent and generous. Captions were capped at 300 characters for years, and a lot of published advice still assumes that number — if a tool tells you 300, it is out of date.
The feed collapses a long caption behind “more”, so the opening line is the part that gets read. This page deliberately prints no boundary for it: nobody here has measured where TikTok cuts, and a figure we cannot stand behind is worse than none at all.
The caption is not the only text on a TikTok post. On-screen text, the sound name and the profile bio are separate fields, and none of them spends these 2,200 characters.
Questions
What is the caption limit on TikTok?
2,200 characters, including spaces, emoji, mentions and hashtags.
Was the TikTok caption limit not 300 characters?
It was, for years. TikTok raised it to 2,200, and a lot of advice still quotes the old number.
Do hashtags count toward the TikTok caption length?
Yes. On a long caption they are usually the biggest single consumer of the 2,200.
Where does TikTok cut the caption in the feed?
It collapses a long caption behind “more”, but nobody here has measured the exact point and this page will not print a number it cannot stand behind. Put what matters first.
