Facebook character limit — the key facts
- Meta's help pages state no character limit for a Facebook post. 63,206 is the widely used figure, and it is the limit PersonaXpand checks against.
- About the first 250 characters show before "See more" (approximate, it moves with the screen size).
- Text-only posts of 300 to 500 characters tend to get the most engagement, so the opening line carries the post.

Facebook character limit FAQs
What is the Facebook post character limit?
Meta does not publish one on its help pages. 63,206 characters is the figure widely used, and in practice you will hit "See more" long before any limit: only about the first 250 characters show in the feed.
What is the Facebook bio character limit?
Meta's help pages don't state a limit for the profile intro (the bio under your profile picture), so this page doesn't repeat the numbers quoted elsewhere. It shows as one short block, so one or two lines read best.
What is the Facebook Page bio character limit?
Meta doesn't publish one for a Page's intro either. Write one plain sentence about what the Page offers and who it is for, then add your link and contact details in their own fields.
How many characters show before See more on Facebook?
About 250 in the feed, fewer when the post has an image or link preview. It shifts with the screen, so put the point in the first line.
How many hashtags can I use on Facebook?
Meta publishes no hashtag cap for posts. One or two specific tags are plenty; check yours with the hashtag counter.
