What is this tool?
Many fields cap length by characters rather than words: social posts, SMS messages, meta descriptions, and app store listings. The character counter shows the total length and the count without spaces as you type, so you can trim copy to fit.
Character limits appear everywhere — titles, descriptions, bios, and messages. Counting both with and without spaces helps you tune copy precisely.
How to use the Character Counter
- Paste or type your text into the box.
- Read the character count with spaces and without spaces as they update live.
- Trim or rewrite the text until it fits your limit.
Frequently asked questions
Are emojis one character?
JavaScript string length counts UTF-16 code units, so some emojis and symbols may count as more than one. The displayed length matches typical web form limits.
Do spaces count as characters?
In most limits, yes: social networks and SMS count spaces. The no-spaces figure is useful for some academic and translation limits.
What are some common character limits?
Search results usually show about 150–160 characters of a meta description and around 60 of a page title. A single SMS holds 160 standard characters, and a post on X allows 280.
