Character Counter

Character counter — count characters with and without spaces for meta tags, tweets, and form limits.

About this tool

The Character Counter tracks character totals in real time — both with spaces and without — so you never exceed platform limits on meta descriptions, ad copy, SMS messages, form fields, or social posts where a few extra characters cause truncation or rejection. Type or paste text and see both counts update live as you edit. The tool handles emojis, symbols, and Unicode characters accurately. For word, sentence, and paragraph counts alongside characters, use the word counter tool. To clean messy pasted spacing before counting, try the remove extra spaces tool.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Paste or type your text into the box.
  2. See character counts update automatically.
  3. Check counts with and without spaces if required.
