Frequently asked questions
What is the character limit for a Facebook bio?
A Facebook Page description can be up to 255 characters. The short bio (intro) on a personal profile is limited to 101 characters. This generator writes for Pages, so every bio is 255 characters or less. For a personal profile, pick the shortest result and trim it to fit.
What should a Facebook Page bio include?
A good Page bio says what you do, who it is for and what to do next, in that order. One or two plain sentences beat a list of keywords. Add your location if you serve a local area, and end with an action such as "Message us to book".
How many bios does the generator write?
Each run returns up to five bios for your topic and tone, each with a character count out of 255. You can run the generator twice a day without an account, and edit any bio before you use it.
Can I use emojis in a Facebook bio?
Yes. Facebook accepts emojis in Page descriptions and profile intros, and each one counts toward the character limit. The fun and playful tone uses them the most. Choose the professional or elegant tone if you want few or none.
Where do I change my Facebook Page bio?
Switch into your Page, open the Page profile and find the Intro section near the top. Choose the option to edit the bio, paste the new text and save. The change shows on your Page straight away.
Does the generator work in other languages?
Yes. Bios can be written in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian or Portuguese. Choose the language before you generate.
