About This Tool
Character counting is crucial for content that must fit specific limits. Social media posts, SMS messages, meta descriptions, headlines, and form fields all have character restrictions. This counter shows both characters with spaces (total length) and without spaces (pure character count). Track in real-time as you type or paste existing text for instant analysis. Additional statistics like word count and reading time round out the picture. All processing happens locally - your text stays private.
