LinkedIn character limit FAQs

What is the LinkedIn post character limit?
A LinkedIn post allows up to 3,000 characters. On mobile, only about the first 140 characters show before “…see more,” so your opening line matters most.

What is the ideal length for a LinkedIn post?
Posts of roughly 700–1,200 characters perform best — enough room for a real point without losing the reader. The 3,000 limit is a ceiling, not a target.

How many hashtags should I use on LinkedIn?
Three to five relevant hashtags is a good rule of thumb on LinkedIn.
