Telegram character limits and image sizes
This page lists every Telegram text limit and upload size tracked by the tool, including the point where Telegram truncates a post in the feed. Counts follow how Telegram itself measures text, not raw string length.
Telegram character limits
| Field | Limit | Visible in feed |
|---|---|---|
| Message | 4,096 | — |
| Media caption | 1,024 | — |
“Visible in feed” is roughly where the platform collapses the rest behind a “more” link. It is the practical limit for anything you need read.
Limits for other networks
Limits are checked against public platform documentation and change occasionally — verify anything business-critical. Limits last reviewed .
