What is the TikTok caption character limit?
TikTok captions support up to 2,200 characters, the same limit as Instagram. This raised cap (from the original 150) lets creators add SEO-style descriptions, context, and links to driving discovery on TikTok's in-app search. The counter shows current length so you can craft captions that fit fully without truncation.
How much of a TikTok caption is visible before "more"?
TikTok shows roughly the first 100 characters of a caption before the "more" expand link appears. Front-load your hook, primary keyword, and any time-sensitive call to action in those first 100 characters. Save hashtags, attribution, and supporting context for after the cutoff.
How many hashtags work best on TikTok?
Three to five focused hashtags consistently outperform hashtag stuffing on TikTok. Mix one broad community tag (#booktok, #cleantok), one trend or sound-based tag, and one niche descriptor. Avoid generic tags like #fyp or #foryou; they no longer meaningfully boost the For You page algorithm.
Should I use keywords in TikTok captions for SEO?
Yes. TikTok now functions as a search engine for younger audiences, and captions are a major ranking signal alongside on-screen text and spoken words. Naturally include 1 to 2 primary keywords your audience would search, plus relevant variants. Avoid keyword stuffing; the algorithm penalizes repetitive, low-quality copy.
Do links work in TikTok captions?
TikTok does not make links in captions clickable for most accounts. Only Business accounts that meet specific criteria can add a clickable bio link, and link stickers are available in some video formats. Drive traffic by directing viewers to your bio link rather than pasting URLs into the caption.
Do emojis and hashtags count toward the 2,200-character limit?
Yes. Emoji typically count as one or two characters each (more for modified emoji), and hashtags count at their full visible length including the # symbol. Mentions (@username) also count. Use the counter to budget characters across hooks, body copy, hashtags, and credits.
