Frequently Asked Questions
How does the character counter work?
Our character counter counts every character in your text in real time, including letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation. It also shows the count without spaces, plus words, sentences, and paragraphs.
What is the difference between characters with and without spaces?
Characters with spaces counts everything you type, including the blank spaces between words. Characters without spaces excludes those blanks. Many platforms and assignments count one or the other, so we show both.
Is the character counter free to use?
Yes, it is completely free with no limits and no sign-up. You can count as many characters as you need, as often as you like.
Can I check social media character limits?
Yes. As you type, live progress bars show the limits for Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook, so you know instantly whether your text fits.
Is my text kept private?
Yes. All character counting happens locally in your browser. Your text is never sent to a server or stored anywhere.
