Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Instagram bio character limit?
The Instagram bio character limit is 150 characters. This includes spaces, emojis (which count as 2 characters each), and special characters. Make your bio impactful with a clear description, relevant keywords, and a call-to-action.
What is the Instagram caption character limit?
Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters. However, only the first 125 characters appear before the "more" button, so front-load your most important content. Longer captions can boost engagement when they tell a story or provide value.
How many hashtags should I use on Instagram?
Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post, but studies suggest 10-15 relevant hashtags is optimal. Quality over quantity matters - use a mix of popular, niche, and branded hashtags. Consider placing hashtags in your first comment to keep captions clean.
