Character Counter
Use Character Counter when you need to count words, characters, lines, or other text details. Add the text, choose the option that matters, and review the count report.
Character Counter
Count characters with and without spaces as you type - built for the limits that count characters, not words: tweets, meta descriptions, SMS, ad headlines, and form fields.

What Character Counter cleans up
The counter measures your text against character-based limits - the kind where 'how many words' is irrelevant and one character over means rejected. Both with-spaces and without-spaces figures are shown, because different systems count differently.
Why small text fixes matter
Character limits are everywhere and unforgiving: 280 for X, ~60 before Google truncates your title, 160 per SMS segment, 30 for a Google Ads headline, 2,200 for an Instagram caption. Writing to these limits without a live count means repeated paste-check-trim cycles in the actual form, which is how typos get in at the last second.
How the text is handled
Type or paste, watch the numbers. One nuance worth knowing: emoji and some special characters count as more than one character in many systems (an emoji can be 2+ 'characters' to a platform's counter) - so leave margin when your text includes them.
Where Character Counter helps
- Writing meta titles (~60 chars) and descriptions (~155)
- Fitting posts into X's 280 characters
- Keeping SMS inside one 160-character segment
- Writing ad headlines against 30/90-character caps
- Checking form-field inputs before submitting

"Write against the live count, use the with-spaces figure, and leave emoji margin. Your text fits on the first paste."
