A live character counter for length-limited writing: bios, posts, meta descriptions, and SMS — with counts shown both with and without spaces.
How it works
- Paste your content into the text area.
- Check the total character count with and without spaces.
- Compare your count against common social media limits (e.g., Twitter, Instagram).
Frequently asked questions
Do emoji count as one character?
Usually 1–2 here (some complex emoji combine several code points); platforms may weight them differently.
Spaces in or out?
Most platform limits include spaces. The without-spaces figure is for forms and billing systems that exclude them.
Is anything stored?
No — counting happens entirely in your browser.
