Character Counter

Check character counts with and without spaces for tweets, SEO, and meta tags.

How to Use Character Counter

  1. Type or paste your text into the input box.
  2. The character count (with and without spaces) updates live below the box.
  3. Trim your text until it fits your target limit - the counter updates as you edit.

Key Features & Practical Use Cases

  • Fitting social media post lengths to character constraints (e.g. 280 characters limit on X/Twitter).
  • Writing website meta titles and descriptions that fit Google search result length limits.
  • Drafting sms notifications or app alerts that must stay within limited character payloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it count characters with or without spaces?

Both counts are shown side by side, since different platforms (SMS vs. social media) sometimes have different conventions for what counts toward the limit.

Does it count emoji correctly?

Emoji are counted, though be aware some platforms (like Twitter/X) count certain multi-byte emoji as more than one character toward their own limit - check the specific platform's rules if you're right at the edge.

Can I set a custom limit to check against, like 160 for SMS?

The live counter shows the raw number so you can compare it against whatever limit you're targeting (160 for SMS, 280 for X, 60 for a meta title, etc.).
