Facebook Character Limits

A 63,206-character cap nobody should ever reach

Facebook's post limit of 63,206 characters is famously enormous, but the feed collapses posts after roughly 400-480 characters behind a 'See more' link. The practical limit is what a scroller sees before deciding whether to expand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Facebook post character limit?

63,206 characters as of 2026 - effectively unlimited. The real constraint is the feed truncating posts around 400-480 characters behind 'See more'.

How long should a Facebook post actually be?

Short posts consistently earn more engagement; the content visible before truncation decides whether anyone expands. Keep the core message inside the first 400 characters.
