In-depth explanation
Paste any text to see character counts with and without spaces, plus words and lines — handy for social posts, meta descriptions, and form limits. Everything runs locally in your browser — your inputs are not uploaded to produce the result.
You see both characters with spaces and characters without spaces. Line breaks count as characters in the “with spaces” total (they are whitespace).
Use the with-spaces count as a guide. Some platforms weigh emoji and links differently. Tweak the inputs above to compare options, then copy or note the result you need.
Platforms disagree about emoji, URLs, and spaces. Twitter-style limits, SMS, and meta descriptions each count differently. Use this as a close guide, then paste into the real composer for the official count.
Line breaks are characters. If a form says “500 characters”, assume they count newlines unless they say otherwise. Word Counter is better when you care about words and reading time together.
