Every character.
Accounted for.
Count characters with and without whitespace, words and lines as you type. Add your own limit to see how much room remains.
Character Counter
Processed in your browserCounts use Unicode code points and whitespace-separated words. Combined emojis may count as more than one character.
One less thing
to fiddle with.
Different forms apply different length rules. This counter shows Unicode code points with whitespace, code points without whitespace, whitespace-separated words, and lines. Use the custom limit as a guide, then check the destination platform’s own counter.
- Type or paste your text.
- Read the live character, word and line counts.
- Optionally enter a character limit to check how far under or over you are.
Small questions.
Clear answers.
What does “without whitespace” exclude?
Spaces, tabs, line breaks and other Unicode whitespace are excluded. Punctuation and symbols are still counted.
How are emojis counted?
Characters are counted as Unicode code points. A combined emoji can use several code points. A platform may count visible symbols, UTF-16 units, bytes or weighted characters differently.
How are words counted?
A word is a nonempty group separated by whitespace. This simple method may differ from a word processor, especially for languages without spaces.
Is there a built-in social platform limit?
Enter the limit you want to check. The tool does not claim to reproduce any platform’s changing counting rules.
Are my files or text uploaded?
No. The tool processes your input in this browser and does not send it to our server or save it in persistent browser storage. The website host still receives normal page requests. See our privacy notice for details.
