Write your bio once and see how much of each network’s limit it uses. Characters are counted as you see them; X counts emoji and Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters as two.

How to use it

  1. Paste or write your bio in the box. The example bio shows how the rows read.
  2. Each row shows the characters your bio uses on that network and how many are left.
  3. When a row says how many characters over, trim the bio until every network you use fits.

150 characters. Paste your bio into the counter above to see how much room is left.

160 characters. X counts emoji and Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters as two, so a bio with emoji runs out sooner. Paste your bio into the counter above to see how much room is left.

On X an emoji counts as two, the way X weights posts. The counter counts it as one everywhere else, as you see it on screen.

Sources disagree on how long a Facebook Page bio can be, so we leave it out rather than show a number we cannot check.
