Frequently asked questions
Does the character count include spaces?
This tool shows both — the count with spaces included and a separate count with spaces removed, so you can check against either kind of limit.
Can I use this for X (Twitter) post limits?
Yes, the live counter is useful for checking text against platform limits, though exact platform counting rules (e.g. for links or emoji) can vary slightly.
Is my text kept private?
Yes. Character counting happens entirely client-side in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored.
