Instagram Character LimitsInstagram allows generous caption space but shows almost none of it up front: captions cap at 2,200 characters, yet only roughly the first 125 characters appear before the '... more' link. The bio is the opposite - a hard 150 characters that has to introduce your whole account.

Up to 2,200 characters as of 2026, but only about the first 125 characters show in the feed before the 'more' link, so the opening line has to carry the post.
150 characters, counting spaces and emoji. It is one of the tightest bio limits of any major platform, so every word has to earn its place.
