Text Tools / Character Counter
Count characters in your text, with or without spaces — instantly in your browser.

Character Counter gives you a live character count for any piece of text, with a toggle to include or exclude spaces. It's built for situations with a strict character limit — tweet-length posts, meta descriptions, SMS messages, form fields — where every character counts. Everything is calculated locally in your browser as you type; nothing you paste is ever sent to a server.
Paste or type your text
Drop your text into the workspace above. There's no minimum or maximum length — the count updates as you type or paste.
Choose with or without spaces
Use the toggle below the count to switch between counting every character, or only non-space characters.
Copy or clear
Use Copy to grab your text back to the clipboard, or Clear to start over.
Every individual character in the text — letters, numbers, punctuation, and (in With spaces mode) spaces and line breaks. Emoji and other multi-byte characters are each counted as they're represented in JavaScript strings.
Word Counter gives a full breakdown (words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time). Character Counter is a focused, single-purpose view for when you specifically need a character count against a limit, with the with/without-spaces toggle front and center.
No. All counting happens locally in your browser as you type. Your text is never uploaded, logged, or stored.
