Character Counter

Character Counter — Count Letters & Characters Online

This free character counter counts characters, letters, characters-without-spaces, words, sentences and lines in real time as you type. Because it runs entirely in your browser, your text stays private and there is no server, upload, or account required.

How to Use the Character Counter

Type or paste your text into the box and every count updates instantly below. The Copy button copies your text, and Clear resets the counter. Use the characters-without-spaces count when a platform counts spaces differently — for example, many tweet length tools and social platforms do.

Why Counting Characters Matters

Many platforms enforce strict limits: tweets (280), job titles, meta descriptions (150–160), SMS (160), and SMS/placeholder fields. A character counter helps you stay under the cap, fine-tune headlines and meta tags for SEO, and keep social captions punchy and readable.

Character Counter FAQ

What is the difference between characters and letters? Letters counts only A–Z alphabetic characters; characters counts everything, including spaces, digits and punctuation. Does it count spaces? Yes in total characters, and the without-spaces row shows the count excluding them. Is my text saved? No — everything is processed locally in your browser.
