Character Counter
The Character Counter gives live counts of characters (with and without spaces), words, sentences, paragraphs, lines, and reading time as you type. It also shows progress against common limits — X/Twitter, SMS, and SEO meta tags — so you can write to length.
Platform limits
Live character and word counts with limits for X/Twitter, SMS, and SEO meta tags. Nothing is uploaded — it all runs in your browser as you type.
How This Tool Works
Type or paste your text and every count updates live. The progress bars show how close you are to common platform limits and turn red if you go over.
Formula & Method
Characters are counted directly from your text; words are runs of non-space characters; reading time assumes an average pace of about 200 words per minute.
Example Calculation
Writing a tweet? Paste your draft and the X/Twitter bar shows, say, 240/280 — so you know you have 40 characters left before it’s too long.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it count characters with or without spaces?+
Both — it shows the total character count and a separate count that excludes spaces, since different platforms count differently.
What platform limits does it show?+
X/Twitter (280), SMS (160), SEO meta title (60) and description (160), and Instagram captions (2,200) — with a progress bar for each.
Is my text private?+
Yes — counting happens entirely in your browser as you type; nothing is uploaded or stored.
