Character Counter
Paste your text below to calculate characters with spaces, characters without spaces, and word count.
What is a Character Counter?
A Character Counter counts every character in your text — with and without spaces — in real-time. Essential for platforms with strict character limits like Twitter, SMS, and meta descriptions.
Why Use This Tool?
Avoid getting cut off. Know your character count before pasting into a limited field. Pair with the Meta Description Checker for perfect SEO snippets.
Best Use Cases
- Twitter / X posts (280-character limit)
- SEO meta title and description writing
- SMS and app store descriptions
- Any platform with a strict character cap
How to Use This Tool
Paste or type your text into the input box. The character count (with and without spaces) updates live. Use the copy or clear buttons as needed.
