Character Counter
This character counter is built for places where every character matters: social media bios, post captions, search result descriptions, SMS messages, and form fields with a character limit.
How to Use
- Paste your text into the box.
- See the character count with spaces and without spaces at once.
- Compare the total with the limit for your platform.
- Shorten or expand the text until it fits.
- Copy the final version.
Why This Tool Helps
Different platforms use different limits, and some count spaces while others do not. A post that looks fine in a draft can be cut off when published. Checking both counts before you post avoids truncated sentences and missing hashtags. Writers also use character counts for meta descriptions, which search engines typically display at around 155 to 160 characters, and for headlines that should stay readable on small screens.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between characters with and without spaces?
Characters with spaces include every space between words. Characters without spaces count only letters, digits, and punctuation, which is useful when a limit ignores spaces.
Can I count characters for a tweet or bio?
Yes. Paste the exact text, including hashtags and links, to check it against the platform limit.
Does it count line breaks?
Yes. Line breaks are shown as lines, and they are included in the total character count.
Is there a character limit in the tool?
No. You can paste long documents as well as short captions.
