Frequently asked questions

How many characters can a LinkedIn post have?

A LinkedIn post can be up to 3,000 characters, per the LinkedIn Help Center.

How long can a LinkedIn headline and About section be?

The commonly reported limits are 220 characters for the headline and 2,600 for the About section. LinkedIn does not list these in its Help Center, so the profile editor is the final check.

Do spaces and line breaks count?

Yes. Spaces, line breaks, hashtags and emoji all count toward the limit, and this counter includes them.

Where does LinkedIn cut a long post in the feed?

LinkedIn shows the first few lines and hides the rest behind "see more". Put the main point in your opening lines so it shows before the cut.
