About the Character Counter
Character Counter shows an exact character total as you type, with a toggle for counting with or without spaces. It is the fastest way to check whether text fits a strict limit.
Because it is a word and character counter in one, the live panel shows both figures side by side — useful when a platform caps characters including spaces but you are also writing to a word target.
Great for platforms with hard caps — meta descriptions, tweets, SMS, and form fields. Your text never leaves your browser — everything is computed locally.
Common uses
- Fitting a meta title (≈60) or description (≈160) for SEO.
- Staying under a social platform or SMS character cap.
- Checking database or form field length constraints.
Frequently asked questions
With or without spaces — which should I use?
It depends on the platform. Most social and SEO limits count spaces; some databases do not. Use the toggle to see both instantly.
Are line breaks counted?
The "with spaces" count includes whitespace like line breaks; the "without spaces" count strips all whitespace characters.
Does it count emoji as one character?
Yes. Counting is grapheme-aware, so an emoji is one character even when it is built from several code points — a family emoji or a flag counts as 1, not 7 or 11. Accented letters behave the same way. Note that some platforms (SMS in particular) bill those emoji by code point, so their own limit may be stricter.
