Character Counter
Count characters in your text, with or without spaces.
This Character Counter counts the characters in your text, reporting counts both with and without spaces so you can match whichever limit you're working against — a tweet, a meta description, a form field. The count updates live as you type, computed entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Why does it show two character counts?
Some limits (like many form fields) count every character including spaces, while others effectively don't — showing both counts side by side means you don't have to guess which one applies to your case.
What is this typically used for?
Staying under a strict character limit — a tweet, an SMS, a meta description tag, or a form field with a maximum length enforced elsewhere.
Does spacing or line breaks affect the count?
Line breaks and spaces are both counted in the "with spaces" total, and excluded from the "without spaces" total.
Is my text sent anywhere to be counted?
No. The count is computed locally in your browser as you type.
