About character counting
A character counter is essential whenever there is a hard limit — tweets, SMS, meta descriptions, bios, ad copy or form fields. This counts every character including spaces, and also shows the count without spaces, plus words, sentences and paragraphs, so you can trim to fit.
It all runs in your browser and updates instantly as you type, so nothing is uploaded and there is no lag. Paste a draft to check it against a limit before you publish.
Frequently asked questions
Does it count spaces?
Both. It shows the total character count including spaces and a separate count with spaces removed, so you can match whichever limit applies.
What else does it count?
Words, sentences, paragraphs and an estimated reading time, alongside the character counts.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
Is there a length limit?
No practical limit — paste as much text as you like and it counts instantly.
