Preguntas frecuentes
What is Telegram's character limit for a post?
A regular Telegram text message or channel post can be up to 4,096 characters. Going over that limit means Telegram will reject the message or split it, so it's worth checking before you publish.
What is Telegram's character limit for a photo or video caption?
Captions on media (photos, videos, documents) are limited to 1,024 characters — much shorter than the 4,096 limit for text-only posts. If your caption is longer, consider posting the media with a short caption and the full text as a follow-up message.
Do formatting characters (bold, links) count toward the limit?
Yes — the limit counts the actual characters in your message, including any Markdown or HTML formatting syntax you type manually. If you're using Telegram's rich-text formatting via the app's UI rather than typed symbols, only the visible text counts.
