Count characters, words and lines in real time as you type or paste text. Built-in progress bars show exactly where you stand against Twitter, Instagram, SMS and other platform character limits. Everything runs in your browser — your text stays private.
When to Use the Character Counter
Use before posting to social media, writing meta descriptions, composing SMS messages, or any time you need to stay within a character limit. For full sentence, paragraph, and reading-time analysis, use the word counter.
Character Counter Tips
- Watch the progress bar colour: green means safe, yellow means you are approaching the limit, red means you have exceeded it.
- The "No Spaces" count is useful for coding contexts where whitespace is stripped.
- Paste directly from any source — formatting is automatically removed and only plain text is counted.
- Use the line count to check how your text will wrap in fixed-width displays.
