Our Word Counter reports overall word, sentence and paragraph statistics for general writing. This tool is purpose-built for the 'how many characters do I have left' use case, tracking your text against a specific character limit, like a tweet (280), SMS (160), or meta description (roughly 155-160), so you can see at a glance whether you're within range.
Different platforms and fields enforce different character limits for different technical or design reasons, SMS messages are limited by the underlying telecom protocol, while a meta description limit is really about how much text search engines display before truncating it. Set the limit field to match whatever you're writing for.
Yes, the main character count includes spaces and punctuation, matching how most platforms count characters toward their limits. A separate 'characters without spaces' figure is also shown for reference.
No, all counting happens directly in your browser, your text is never transmitted anywhere.
