About Character Counter
The Character Counter shows the exact length of your text in real time, including characters with spaces, without spaces, total words, and lines. It is built for anyone working with strict length limits, from social media managers to SEO writers and developers.
Live limit checks tell you instantly whether your text fits a tweet, an SMS, a meta title, or a meta description, turning red the moment you go over. Because everything runs in your browser, your content is never sent to a server and stays private.
How to Use Character Counter
- Type or paste your text into the input box.
- Watch the character, word, and line counts update as you type.
- Check the limit cards to see how much room you have for each platform.
- Copy your text or clear the box when you are finished.
