What character limits does Google Ads enforce?

For Responsive Search Ads, Google Ads allows up to 30 characters per headline (up to 15 headlines) and up to 90 characters per description (up to 4 descriptions). Display path fields are limited to 15 characters each.

What are Meta Ads character limits?

Meta recommends primary text up to 125 characters (though it allows up to 500), a headline up to 40 characters, and a link description up to 30 characters for optimal delivery. This tool highlights the recommended thresholds.

Does the tool store my ad copy?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to any server, stored, or logged.

Why does character count matter for ads?

Ad platforms truncate copy that exceeds their limits, often with ellipsis or by hiding it entirely. Staying within limits ensures your full message is shown to users and prevents disapproved ad submissions.

Does the counter include spaces?

Yes, spaces count as characters just as the ad platforms themselves count them.

What about LinkedIn and Twitter/X limits?

LinkedIn Sponsored Content allows up to 150 characters for the headline and 600 for introductory text. Twitter/X Ads allow up to 70 characters for the ad headline and 280 for the body copy.
