The short answer
Reddit allows up to 300 characters in the title. The 300 figure comes from third-party API documentation and tool sites, not a Reddit Help Center page. Individual subreddits can set their own rules.
What counts toward the limit
Letters, numbers, spaces, emojis and punctuation all count.
How much people actually see
The full title shows on the post page, but feeds cut long titles, so put the key words first.
Tips for fitting your title
- Front-load the topic, since feeds cut long titles.
- Check the subreddit rules for title format before you post.
- Keep it plain. Most readers skim titles, and some subreddits remove clickbait.
How this compares with other limits
| Platform | Field | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube | Title | 100 |

| Pin Title | 100 |
Limits come from platform help pages and published guides, and platforms change them. Where it matters, confirm in the app. See every limit on the character limits hub.
