What is this tool?
Character Counter is a free browser tool that counts the characters in any text you type or paste, showing totals both with and without spaces. It's built for situations with a strict character limit — like social posts, SEO titles or form fields — and never sends your text anywhere.
Common uses
- Keeping social media posts within a platform's character limit
- Writing SEO titles and meta descriptions that fit within recommended lengths
- Filling out forms or fields with a maximum character count
- Checking username or bio length restrictions

FAQ
Does it count spaces?
Character Counter shows both totals — one including spaces and one excluding them — so you can use whichever your limit requires.
Is there a limit to how much text I can paste?
No hard limit is enforced, but very long documents may be slower to count in older browsers.
Is my text stored or uploaded?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser and your text is never sent to a server.
