About Instagram Bio Character Counter.
An Instagram bio has to introduce you, pitch you, and link you in exactly 150 characters — and the app itself gives you no counter while you edit. Draft your bio here instead: the live counter tracks every character including emoji and line breaks, shows what remains, and flags overflow instantly. Many people also draft here to get clean line breaks, which are notoriously fiddly to type directly in the app. When it fits, copy and paste it straight into Instagram. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
Frequently asked questions.
How many characters can an Instagram bio have?
Exactly 150 characters, including spaces, emoji, and line breaks. Your name field is separate (64 characters) and is searchable — use it for keywords, not just your name.
Do emoji and line breaks count?
Yes — every emoji and every line break consumes characters from the 150. Emoji may count as more than one character each depending on the emoji.
What about Instagram captions?
Captions allow 2,200 characters, but only the first ~125 characters show in the feed before the "…more" fold. Put your hook in the first line.
How do I add line breaks to my bio?
Draft your bio here with the line breaks you want, then copy and paste it into Instagram — the breaks carry over, which is easier than fighting the mobile keyboard.
