How it works
- 1 Paste or type your text Click the text area and paste your content or start typing. The tool works with any plain text — tweets, essays, code, or passwords.
- 2 Read the statistics instantly All six counters update in real time with every keystroke. No button press required — just type and watch the numbers update.
- 3 Use the count that fits your limit Different platforms count differently. Twitter counts characters including spaces; some SMS gateways count without. Pick the number that matches your platform's rule.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between characters with and without spaces?
- Characters with spaces is the total length of your text — every letter, digit, punctuation mark, and space. Characters without spaces strips all whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) before counting, which is useful for platforms that impose limits on visible content only.
- How does Twitter count characters?
- Twitter counts every Unicode character, including spaces, as one character toward the 280-character limit. URLs are normalised to 23 characters regardless of actual length. Use the 'Characters' figure (with spaces) to check your tweet length.
- Does this tool count Unicode characters correctly?
- Yes. The counter treats each Unicode code point as one character, which matches how most platforms count. Emoji and accented characters each count as one.
- Is there a character or text length limit?
- No. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so you can paste as much text as you like. The only practical limit is your device's available memory.
- Does my text get sent to a server?
- Never. All counting happens locally in JavaScript inside your browser. Your text is not transmitted, stored, or logged anywhere.
