The Instagram bio limit
An Instagram bio can be up to 150 characters. It sits under your name on your profile, and with only one link field (plus link stickers in stories) it is where visitors learn what you do and where to go next.
How to write a Instagram bio
Say what you do in the first line, add one line of proof or personality, and end with a reason to tap the link. Line breaks help readability and count as characters.
Questions
What is the Instagram bio character limit?
150 characters. Line breaks count as characters.
Do emoji count toward the Instagram bio limit?
Yes. Each emoji uses at least one of the 150 characters.
Can I add more than one link to my Instagram profile?
Instagram allows several links in the profile's links section, separate from the bio text.
Do spaces and emoji count?
Spaces and punctuation count as one character each. This checker counts each visible character once, so an emoji counts as one.
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No. The counting happens in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
