Complete list of Blogger account limits
Blogger is a free blogging service hosted by Google. Here is some information about the limits a Blogger account has. I’ve put them into a list for your reference. I’m sure this information will come in handy at some point in your blogging future. So you might want to bookmark this post, just in case.
Account limits

- Profile Interests and Favorites: 2,000 characters in each field.

Blogger will attempt to display the number of posts as set in Settings > Posts and Comments > Show At Most provided the posts’ file size does not exceed the Blogger auto-pagination cap of 1MB.
Bigger posts may cause fewer number of posts to be displayed. - Number of static pages: 20 per blog (updated Mar 2012).
- Number of labels: 5000 unique labels per blog.
Post limits
- Length of individual post: No limit.
- Size of individual post: No limit, but very large posts may run you up against the multiple-post page size limit (see above).
- Number of labels: 20 unique labels per post. All labels combined must not exceed 200 characters per post (thanks to Zipote Craz).
- Number of comments: No limit.
- Length of post filename: 39 characters (auto-generated from post title, truncated to length).
Other limits
- Comment length: 4,096 characters per comment.
I hope you find the information useful. If you know a limit that’s not in the list, please share them in the comments.

useful tips
How many posts in a blog per account? I just want to know :D
@Selina
Stated under "Blog limits" heading above.
So I am struggling with if it is worth buying my own domain through blogger- the only drawback to keeping the current blogger name on my blog seems to be 2 things- my name is a little long and not just what I am (blogspot.com added to it), and there is the limit for the number of readers- only 100!!! I'm not near that yet, but I hear people saying to switch early rather than later. So if I switch, will my older posts stay on the old blog website with a link- will that be a problem? Maybe this would be something for a blog post to discuss- or you can let me know if you already covered it. I'm not looking forward to moving blog posts and don't want to disrupt things too much. Thanks for your helpful posts.
many thanks for this info... now I know!!!
@sarahworldcook
I just want to make it clear that the number of readers is applicable only to PRIVATE blogs. By default your blog is set to Public, which means everyone can read it -unlimited readers. If you choose to private your blog, the max number of readers will stay at 100 even after you switch to custom domain.
Once the domain changed, all your old posts will be transferred to new domain automatically and seamlessly. All done behind the scene by Blogger.
thanks for sharing :) greenlava.. bytheway im from malaysia
@Daus
Welcome to BloggerSentral. Good to have you here :)
Thanks for figuring this out! Saves me some frustration later down the road.
Flora
That's important informations. I have been looking what is number of blogs per google account. Thanks ! (100 is a lot of, but how does it look in SEO if you going to link all blogs from 1 account :> )
@Eurokody
I don't think there is a problem from SEO point of view. The only page that contains the 100 links is your Blogger profile page (and not your blogs) and furthermore they are all nofollowed.
Good to know, thanks !
usefull information, i know it now, thanks
@Kate
@Kamto
My pleasure guys. Thanks for commenting :)
well, nice post! ^^
Thanks for this post! Saves me some frustration later down the road.
thanks for the useful tips for blogging.
Let me keep a doubt on NO LIMIT of Post Length and Post Size as i came across twice trying to post a REALLY BIG text (about 70 pages in pdf).
Blogger was unable to save even the draft.
I am trying to get it to display certain amount of labelled posts (by clicking on a link) -- I put ?max-results=100 at the end of the link but it only shows 31 before having a link for "older posts" (without the ?max-results it only displays 20). Know any other way to force it to display all of the labelled posts on one page?
@Rob Holecko
That must've been caused by Blogger auto pagination.
You can't force Blogger to show all any more, not since they started auto pagination.
Having said that, you can still increase the post count (to a certain extent) by applying Blogger "read more" to your posts.
@Sarah
I'm sure the info is outdated.
thanks ,very informative
Thanks for the info!
Dear Greenlava You Are Blogging GURU. I Love This Blog. Really Great Blog.
Good info.. :)
Thanks for the post. Good information.
Thanks for the informative post. Can you tell how many visitors can blogger will able to handle. I want to know this as it's a shared hosting.
@akash
I would say it's pretty close to unlimited.
Thanks for the post,, nice work... correct me if im wrong but i think the max number of label is up to 2000 only..
@pinoy
2000 was the previous limit. It was increased to 5000 per blog in 2009.

great and nice info..
nice information to know about blogger limitations...thanks for that :)
This post providing awesome information, and its very high and top notch article.Thanks for sharing.
What a nice info. Thanks.
You wrote that : Number of posts: No limit.
Are you sure about this?
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
This is my first opportunity to visit this website. I found some interesting things and I will apply to the development of my blog. Thanks for sharing useful information.
Nice information.
Add this
Authors: 100 authors per blog
Thanks for sharing this information.
@Rahul
Thanks, I'll add that.
hai admin i am also buy the .com in blogspot but why it differs from blog an .com in the sence features please provide help
Is there a limit of how many pictures (storage space) you can paste onto the Blogger Pages Gadget??
@Anonymous
I don't think there is a limit for that.
I didn't knew these info about Blogspot before. Thank you very much for sharing. It will help to better understand many things about Blogger.
how much page limit??????
the 200 characters per label limit you mention seems confusing since it looks as if you can have 20 labels x 200 characters, which is not the case. All labels combined must not exceed 200 characters per post. This is what I get all the time as error, so I know this limit.
@Zipote Craz
Thanks for correcting that.
Unique and helpful information. I was checking about the number of blogs per account. And got a lot of info here. Thank you! :)
What is the limit of characters of post titles or wordings of a blog with no title shown expanded in the blog archive? It seems to be about 50 (including spaces).
Can the limit be decreased to let's say 20 characters?
@Falko
I'm not really sure what you are referring to, but whatever it is it's usually unchangeable.
unlimited post :X
I love it :X
Add This dear Post By Email or API Limit = 50 per 24 Hours. :) and good work.
