How to use the character counter
Type or paste your text and the tool instantly shows the character count, characters without spaces, word count, line count, paragraph count, and UTF-8 byte size. It is handy for checking social media limits, tuning meta descriptions, or verifying essay and report length.
All counting runs inside your browser with JavaScript, so your text is never uploaded to a server. You can safely paste confidential drafts. It is free, requires no sign-up, and works on mobile.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it count spaces and line breaks?
- The main character count includes spaces, and a separate figure excludes them. Line breaks are reflected in the line and paragraph counts.
- Is my text sent anywhere?
- No. All counting happens locally in your browser and nothing is transmitted to any server.
- Can I use it to check social media character limits?
- Yes. The counts update in real time, so you can confirm length before posting.
