How It Works
As you type, the tool counts every character in your text (characters), every character excluding whitespace (characters, no spaces), every word (split on whitespace), and every line (split on line breaks) — all recalculated live, entirely in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'characters' and 'characters (no spaces)'?+
'Characters' counts every character including spaces and punctuation. 'Characters (no spaces)' removes all whitespace first, which is what some platforms and forms use for their limit — check which one applies to your use case.
Why would I need this instead of the Word Counter?+
Use the Character Counter when you're working against a strict character limit (an SMS, a tweet, a bio field, a meta description). Use the Word Counter when you're working against a word limit for an essay or assignment.
Does it count emojis or special characters correctly?+
It counts based on the text you paste, so most emojis and special characters are included as characters. Some multi-part emojis may count as more than one character, which matches how many platforms measure length too.
