About Character Counter

Character Counter is a free online tool. Count characters with and without spaces for tweets, meta descriptions, SMS and form fields. It runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install, no account to create and no watermark added to your result.

How to use Character Counter

1. Type or paste your text into the input box.
2. Pick any options that appear, then run the tool or watch the live result.
3. Copy the output with the copy button.

Worked example

"Hello world" has 11 characters with the space and 10 without it.

Tips for best results

• Meta descriptions around 150-160 characters and titles under about 60 characters display best in search results.
• Everything runs in your browser, so you can use Character Counter even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.

Limits to keep in mind

• Results depend on the input you provide. Review the output before you use it somewhere important.
