TikTok character counter
A TikTok caption can be 4,000 characters. Type or paste and watch what is left, with a warning when you go over.
Captions can be 4,000 characters but the first line is what people read. Bios are limited to 80 characters.
Characters are counted in Unicode code points, the way this platform counts them, so emoji and accented letters count correctly. Nothing you type leaves the page.
