Frequently asked questions
What is the LinkedIn post character limit?
A LinkedIn post allows up to 3,000 characters. On desktop, roughly 700 characters show before the 'see more' link; on mobile that drops to about 210. Your hook has to land in those first two lines.
What is the LinkedIn headline character limit?
Your headline can be up to 220 characters. It appears under your name everywhere — feed, search, comments, connection requests — so it's the most-seen line on your profile.
What is the LinkedIn connection request character limit?
A connection request note is capped at 300 characters. Two tight, specific sentences usually outperform a full paragraph.
Do spaces and emojis count toward the limit?
Yes. Spaces, line breaks, and punctuation all count. Most emojis count as one or two characters depending on the emoji.
