YouTube limit questions
Still deciding? The free trial is the quickest way to find out. It takes about a minute to set up.
What is the YouTube character limit?
5,000 characters per post.
Do emojis and links count?
Yes. Every character you see counts once, including an emoji, a flag or an accented letter. Links count in full here; a few networks, such as Mastodon, count every link as 23 characters, so a long link uses less of the limit there.
How many images can a YouTube post have?
Video only: each post is one video
Can I post videos to YouTube?
One video per post, up to 512 MB (MP4, MOV or WebM)
What if my post is too long for YouTube?
Shorten it, or in Postzora give YouTube its own shorter version while your other networks keep the full text.
Character counters for other networks
Write once. Fit YouTube and every other network.
Postzora shows each network’s limit as you write and lets you shorten one version without touching the others.
