Open Word CounterFrequently Asked Questions
What is the Instagram caption character limit?
Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters. However, only the first ~125 characters are visible in the feed before the 'more' link.
How many hashtags should I use on Instagram?
Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post, but research suggests 3–5 highly relevant hashtags perform best for most accounts in 2026.
Does Instagram caption length affect reach?
Longer captions can increase engagement by keeping users on the post longer (dwell time), which signals quality content to the algorithm. However, the first line must hook the reader.
