Characters, hashtags, mentions and lines are counted as you type, with the limit beside each.

When it fits, copy the caption and paste it into Instagram.
Instagram caption limits
Instagram limits a caption to 2,200 characters and a post to 30 hashtags. A caption over either limit cannot be posted as it is, so it is worth checking a long caption before you share.
Emoji count as characters too. This counter counts each emoji and each line break the way you see them, so its total can differ by a few characters from tools that count bytes.
Only the first lines of a caption show in the feed before “more”, so put the point of the post and any call to action at the start.
