Why We Built This Tool

We built this tool to make it easier to figure out if the text that you are writing fits within the character limits of Instagram. It can be a bit tricky to keep track of the character limits for each feature on Instagram since different features have different character limits (e.g. direct messages have different character limits compared to captions), so we built this tool to help you out.
