Paste or type a text and see, live, the count of characters (with and without spaces), words, lines and paragraphs — plus indicators for the most common social and SEO limits.
Characters with spaces is the total of every symbol, including spaces and line breaks — the number that social networks and search engines usually limit. Characters without spaces ignores any whitespace. Words are sequences separated by whitespace. Lines counts line breaks, and paragraphs counts blocks separated by a blank line.
The tool shows how much is left (or how much you've exceeded) for three frequent limits: 280 characters for an X (Twitter) post, ~160 for a meta description and ~60 for a title tag — the latter two important for SEO, because Google truncates whatever exceeds that in the results.
Yes. The count uses Unicode code points, so an emoji (even ones made of surrogate pairs) counts as a single character, the way most platforms do it.
They are widely used reference values. Each platform may have its own rules (for example, counting links differently), so treat them as a guide, not a guarantee.
