What this tool does

A character counter counts every character in your text and checks it against the length limits that actually matter — a tweet, an SMS segment, a meta description, or an Instagram bio — flagging when you've gone over.

How it works

  1. Paste or type your text into the box above.
  2. The character count and every platform limit bar update live.
  3. Trim your text until the bars you care about turn green instead of red.
Example: Paste a draft tweet at 310 characters and see the X/Twitter bar immediately flag it as 30 characters over the 280-character limit.
Yes. The character counter is completely free, with no signup, no watermark, and no limit on how many times you use it.
No — paste your text and get your result immediately, with no account and no email required.
No practical limit — it's built to handle anything from a short caption to a full document.
No. Text you paste in is processed in your browser session only and isn't saved or shared.
Yes — "character counter" and "character count tool" describe the same task. This page is built to handle that search directly, without redirecting you elsewhere.
