# LinkedIn profile specs and limits: text and media

Every text, media and posting rule 1Post checks for LinkedIn profile, with the network's own page cited and the date read where we read one.

LinkedIn profile text is limited to 3,000 characters, counted by code points. This page lists every text, media and posting rule 1Post checks for LinkedIn profile: counts, sizes, lengths, threads and the daily cap. Where LinkedIn profile publishes a figure on its own page we cite it with the date we read it.

## What 1Post checks for LinkedIn profile

| Rule | What 1Post checks |
| --- | --- |
| Text limit | 3,000 characters, counted by code points |
| Media accepted | Images, Video |
| Images per post | 20 |
| Videos per post | 1 |
| Images and video together | Not in one post |
| Threads | No |
| First comment | Yes |
| Posts per day, per connected account (1Post) | 50 |

These are the limits 1Post applies in the composer, so a post that passes is not refused for them when it is sent. A network can still refuse a post for reasons outside these rules, such as its content policies.

## Questions

**How is LinkedIn profile text counted?**

LinkedIn profile text is counted by code points. The [character counter](https://get1post.com/tools/character-counter.md) applies the same rule.

**Where do these LinkedIn profile limits come from?**

They are the limits 1Post checks before a post is sent. Figures the network publishes on its own page are cited above with the date read; the rest are checks 1Post sets.

**How often is this page updated?**

When a network changes a rule or we read a newer figure, the page changes with it. The date at the top shows the last change.
