Facebook Page Bio Character Limit 2026 (and the rest)
Setting up a Facebook Page bio and the field cuts you off mid-sentence? That's the 101-character bio limit — easily the tightest cap on any major social platform's profile. Here's every other Facebook character limit for 2026.
Quick Answer: Every Facebook Character Limit (2026)
| Field | Limit | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Page Bio (Intro) | 101 chars | The shortest cap on Facebook |
| Page Name | 75 chars | Cannot include only-promotional language |
| Page About (Long) | 255 chars | Different from bio — fuller description |
| Personal Bio (Intro) | 101 chars | On personal profiles |
| Post (text status) | 63,206 chars | Massive, but only first ~5 lines visible before "See More" |
| Comment | 8,000 chars | Long comments allowed; first ~3 lines visible |
| Group Name | 75 chars | Same as page name |
| Group Description | 3,000 chars | Plenty of room for rules |
| Album Title | 60 chars | Per album in Photos |
| Marketplace Listing Title | 100 chars | + 9,999 char description |
The 101-Character Trap
The Page bio at 101 characters is brutally short — barely a sentence. To fit a real value proposition:
Lead with what ("Free WiFi tools for Indian Airbnb hosts")
Skip ego (no "the best", no "leading")
Drop articles ("Make WiFi QR cards" beats "We make WiFi QR cards")
One emoji = one idea separator — but each emoji costs 1-2 characters

If 101 isn't enough, push the longer description into the About section (255 chars) which is also visible from the page header on desktop.
Posts: 63,206 Characters Doesn't Mean Use Them
Facebook will let you write a 63,206-character post. You shouldn't. Two reasons:
The "See More" cutoff is at roughly 5 lines on mobile, 7 on desktop — about 250-400 characters. Anything past that is read only by people who already love your content.
Algorithm preference in 2026 still favours posts under 80 characters for organic reach. Long-form gets fewer impressions even when engagement-per-impression is high.
The optimal Facebook post length for organic reach in 2026 sits at 40-80 characters for status updates with a link, and 150-250 characters for image posts where the caption is the meal.
Page Name vs Page Bio vs About: Which Is What?
People confuse these constantly:
| Field | Limit | Where it shows |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Page Name | 75 | The big bold name at the top |
| Page Bio (Intro) | 101 | Short tagline directly under the name |
| About (Detailed) | 255 | Full description on the About tab |
Treat them like a magazine: name = title, bio = subtitle, about = first paragraph.
Stop Counting Manually
The 101-character ceiling on Facebook bios is unforgiving. Our Character Counter has dedicated progress bars for Facebook bio (101), page name (75), and about (255) — plus Instagram, X, LinkedIn and TikTok in the same screen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Facebook page bio limited to only 101 characters?
Facebook intentionally keeps the page bio short so it shows fully on mobile screens without truncation. The 255-character About section is the place for fuller copy.
Can I include emojis in my Facebook bio?
Yes, and emojis are counted as 1 or 2 characters depending on the symbol. Skin-toned and zero-width-joined emojis cost more characters because they're encoded as multiple Unicode points.
What's the maximum Facebook post length?
63,206 characters technically — but for organic reach, keep status posts under 80 characters and image-post captions under 250.
Is the page bio different from the personal profile bio?
The character limit (101) is the same. The functional difference: a personal bio appears on your personal timeline; a page bio is for business/creator pages.
