Character Counter Tool
Instantly count your total characters, strictly keeping track of characters with or without spaces.
What is the Character Counter Tool?
The Character Counter Tool is a specialized utility designed to track the precise length of your text down to the single keystroke. While word counters provide a broad overview, character constraints are critical for scenarios where hard limits are enforced by platforms.
Whether you're crafting the perfect Tweet, staying within SMS limits, writing SEO meta titles and descriptions, or filling out a government form with a strict character limit, this tool tells you exactly how many characters you have used, differentiating between characters with spaces and without spaces.
How to Use This Tool
- Paste your text into the input field above.
- The statistics instantly update to show your total character count including and excluding spaces.
- Optional: Enter a custom limit in the "Limit Warning Config" box, or click one of the quick-preset buttons (Twitter, SMS, SEO).
- If your text exceeds the set limit, a warning message will appear to let you know you need to trim your content.
