A Bluesky post can be 300 characters. Type or paste and watch what is left, with a warning when you go over.

Posts are capped at 300 graphemes, so an emoji or an accented letter counts as one, which is how this counter counts them.

The count follows Bluesky's own rules, described above, so the number you see here is the number the app will show. Nothing you type leaves the page.
