Check if your text fits the 500 character limit
About 75–85 English words, or three to five sentences. Short, common words give you more words per 500 characters than long technical terms, so the figure is a guide rather than an exact rule.
500 characters is a common limit on personal statements, scholarship short answers, product reviews, customer-feedback boxes, and condensed LinkedIn summaries. It's enough for a tight, complete paragraph of three to five sentences without rambling.
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 1000 characters for cover letters. For tweets use the 280-character Twitter counter, and for arbitrary text the main character counter shows characters, words, and reading time.
