What's the caption character limit for each platform?

Instagram cuts off around 125 characters in-feed (2,200 max stored), TikTok around 150 characters visible before "more" (2,200 max), and YouTube Shorts shows about 100 characters before truncating. This tool shows you the actual cut-off point live as you type.

Does the preview match exactly how my post will look once published?

It matches each platform's layout, caption cut-off, and hashtag display closely, though final rendering can vary slightly by device and app version — always worth a quick real check after posting too.

Is my file uploaded to PlanWise's servers?

No — the preview runs entirely in your browser. Your image or video is never sent anywhere.

Can I preview carousel or multi-photo posts?

Currently the preview supports a single image or video at a time.
