About Character Counter

Character Counter gives you a precise breakdown of your text: total characters, characters minus spaces, characters minus all whitespace, letters, digits, punctuation, lines, and UTF-8 byte size. Helpful for hitting hard character limits on social posts, meta descriptions, SMS messages, and database fields. The tool runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Useful when working with confidential drafts or pasting from internal sources. Common uses include trimming meta descriptions to 155 characters for SEO, fitting an SMS into 160 bytes, hitting Twitter/X limits, and verifying that user input stays under a database column's length.
