Character Counter
Count characters, words, and lines in your text
Input or paste your draft into the text area.
Metrics update dynamically, showing total characters, words, sentences, and lines without requiring a page refresh.
Toggle 'Characters (no spaces)' if your target platform's validation algorithm ignores whitespace (common in certain SMS gateways or backend databases).
Pro Tips
- SEO Best Practice: Keep meta titles under 60 characters and meta descriptions between 150-160 characters to prevent truncation in Google search results.
- Social Media Optimization: Twitter/X caps at 280 characters. LinkedIn posts see peak engagement around 1,300 to 2,000 characters. Instagram hides captions after 125 characters.
- Unicode & Emojis: The counter accurately processes multi-byte characters and emojis, displaying the true string length.
