Character Counter Privacy: All processing runs locally
Count characters, letters, digits, spaces, and punctuation with a character limit progress bar.
How It Works
The Character Counter tool provides a real-time breakdown of your text as you type or paste. It counts total characters, characters without spaces, letters, digits, spaces, and punctuation marks individually, giving you a comprehensive view of your text composition.
The character limit progress bar lets you set a maximum character count (default 280, matching Twitter/X's limit). The bar turns yellow as you approach the limit and red when you exceed it, making it easy to stay within platform-specific constraints.
Common character limits for popular platforms include:
- Twitter/X — 280 characters
- Instagram caption — 2,200 characters
- LinkedIn post — 3,000 characters
- YouTube title — 100 characters
- SMS message — 160 characters
- Meta description (SEO) — 155 characters
