Character Counter
Count characters with spaces and without spaces. Set your own limit — for tweets, meta descriptions, or SMS — and watch the remaining count live.
Private by design: counting happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored anywhere.

How characters are counted
Characters are counted the way you see them: one visible character equals one. An emoji such as 👨👩👧👦 or 🇵🇰 counts as a single character, even though it is stored as several code units behind the scenes. "With spaces" includes every space, tab and line break; "without spaces" strips all whitespace first, so only visible characters remain.
Common character limits
- X (Twitter) post: 280 characters
- SMS message: 160 characters per segment
- Meta description: around 155–160 characters
- Instagram bio: 150 characters
Enter any of these as your limit above and the counter shows exactly how many characters you have left — turning red if you go over.
