About Character Counter
Informational only, not professional advice. Report an error.
Social posts, meta descriptions, and form fields often have strict character limits. A character counter shows how long your text is while you edit, so you do not have to paste into a spreadsheet or guess from word count alone.
Paste or type any string to see total characters, characters without spaces, words, lines, and paragraphs. Everything runs in your browser, so drafts stay on your device.
Use the Word Counter when you care about reading length, or the Reading Time Calculator when you need minutes-to-read for a blog post.
Common use cases

- Continue in Word Counter or Character Frequency Analyzer when the next step is a different format or check.
