Check if your text fits the 1000 character limit
About 150–170 English words, or one to two short paragraphs. Short, common words give you more words per 1000 characters than long technical terms, so the figure is a guide rather than an exact rule.
1,000 characters is the limit on many cover-letter snippets, college supplemental short answers, Etsy and marketplace 'about' sections, and grant 'brief summary' fields. It holds roughly one to two tight paragraphs, or about 150–170 English words.
Need a different limit? Use 60 characters for SEO titles, 150 characters for Instagram bios, 160 characters for SMS & meta descriptions, 250 characters for short answers, 300 characters for business descriptions, or 500 characters for personal statements. For tweets use the 280-character Twitter counter, and for arbitrary text the main character counter shows characters, words, and reading time.
