TikTok Caption
Character Checker
Check your TikTok caption (2,200 chars), bio (80 chars), display name (30 chars) and comments (150 chars) with a live For You Page preview. Free, real-time, no signup.
💡 Caption tip: Your first ~100 chars are your hook — they show in the For You Page before "more". Lead with a question, bold claim or pattern interrupt. Add hashtags and CTA in the body of the caption.
💡 Bio tip: 80 characters is tight — about 12 words. Prioritise: what you make, who it's for, and one CTA (e.g. "↓ New video every Tuesday"). Emojis count as characters but save space visually.
💡 Name tip: Your display name can include spaces, emojis and special characters — unlike your @username. Make it memorable and brand-consistent. It appears prominently in the For You Page feed and on your profile.
💡 Comment tip: 150 characters is about 25 words. Pinning a comment on your own video acts as a second caption — use it for your main CTA, a clarification, or to boost your first comment to the top.
