How Pinterest counts characters
- Pinterest does not publish how it counts emoji, so this counter uses the rule PostQuest checks before publishing: every Unicode character counts as 1.
- Spaces, line breaks, links, @mentions, and #hashtags count character by character.
- Most emoji count as 1, but combined emoji count each part, so 👨👩👧 counts as 5.

Pinterest character counter FAQ
What is the Pinterest character limit?
Pinterest captions can be up to 800 characters long. The caption becomes the pin description.
Do spaces and line breaks count on Pinterest?
Yes. Every space and line break counts as one character toward the Pinterest limit.
How do emoji count on Pinterest?
Pinterest does not publish its rule. PostQuest counts each Unicode character as 1, so most emoji count as 1 and combined emoji, such as a family, count each part.
Does PostQuest check the Pinterest limit before publishing?
Yes. PostQuest checks every caption against the Pinterest limit before a post can be scheduled, so it never fails at publish time for being too long.
