# Reddit title counter

Canonical: https://postmesh.app/tools/reddit-title-counter

Reddit allows 300 characters in a title. Paste yours to see what’s left, and how the same text fares on the other networks.

## How it works

The count uses the same rule PostMesh checks before it posts to Reddit: 300 characters. Each letter, space and emoji counts as one character.

A Reddit title is separate from the post body, so it has its own limit.

Nothing you type leaves your browser.

## Steps

1. Type or paste your title.

2. Read the Reddit count and what’s left.

3. Check the other networks if you’ll post it there too.

## Every Reddit limit PostMesh checks

These are the rules PostMesh runs before it publishes, one row per post type. The source and the date each was last checked live in PostMesh’s publishing rules.

| Post type | Text | Title | Hashtags |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Text post | 40,000 characters | 300 characters | No cap |
| Image post | 40,000 characters | 300 characters | No cap |
| Video post | 40,000 characters | 300 characters | No cap |
| Link post | 40,000 characters | 300 characters | No cap |

## How Reddit counts emoji and accents

PostMesh counts Reddit text in Unicode characters: a letter, an accented letter or a simple emoji is one. Joined emoji, such as 👩‍💻, are several characters stuck together and count as more.

| Text | Counts as |
| --- | --- |
| Hello | 5 characters |
| café | 4 characters |
| 😀 | 1 character |
| 👩‍💻 | 3 characters |
| 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐝 | 4 characters |

## Ways to fit a post that runs over

- Cut the opening line to the point: it’s the part people see before “more”.
- Move links to your bio or a first comment where the network allows it.
- Swap a long phrase for a shorter one rather than dropping hashtags you need.
- Write a short version for the strictest network, then add detail where there’s room.
