Character Counter FAQ
What is the difference between characters and characters without spaces?
Characters count includes every character in your text — letters, numbers, spaces, punctuation, and symbols. Characters without spaces excludes all whitespace (spaces, tabs, line breaks).
What are the character limits for social media platforms?
Twitter/X allows 280 characters per post, Instagram captions allow 2,200 characters, LinkedIn posts allow 3,000 characters, and Facebook posts allow 63,206 characters.
Does this tool count emojis as one character?
Emojis may count as 1–4 characters depending on the emoji. Our tool counts them as JavaScript sees them. Social media platforms may count them differently.
Can I use this for SEO meta descriptions?
Yes! Google typically displays 155–160 characters for meta descriptions. Use our character counter to ensure your meta descriptions fit within the recommended limit.
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No. All counting happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device and is not stored anywhere.
