Character Counter

How it works

1. Type or paste your text into the input panel.
2. The tool automatically counts the total number of characters, with and without spaces.
3. A breakdown by category is shown: letters, digits, spaces, and punctuation or other symbols.
4. Compare your text's length against common platform and format limits, and see how many characters you have left.

Use cases

• Trim a post so it doesn't exceed the Twitter/X character limit.
• Write an SMS message that stays within a single 160-character segment.
• Optimize a title or meta description so it displays in full in search results.
• Quickly check the exact length of a form field or an identifier.
