How the Instagram bio character limit works
Instagram bios are limited to 150 characters. Use the free counter above to check your length before you paste into Instagram, so you never lose a draft to a truncated bio.
The limit is 150 characters
Your Instagram profile bio can be up to 150 characters long. Spaces, punctuation, line breaks, and emoji all count toward that limit.
Emoji count as characters
Most emoji take one or more characters in Instagram’s count. This tool counts them the same way Instagram does when you type in the bio field.
Website links go in a separate field
The clickable website link on your profile is a separate field. It does not use your bio character limit. Keep the bio for your pitch, and put the URL in the website field.
Line breaks count too
Pressing Enter to add a new line uses a character. Use line breaks sparingly if you are close to the limit.
