Character Count With and Without Spaces

Some limits count every visible and invisible character, while others care more about letters and symbols. This counter shows both characters with spaces and characters without whitespace so you can check either requirement quickly.

Common Platform Limits

Use the preset limit cards for short posts, bios, SMS messages, titles, descriptions, and social captions. You can also set a custom limit when a platform, form, or app has its own cap.

Useful for Short Copy

Character counters are especially helpful for copy that gets truncated: profile bios, product fields, video titles, ad headlines, push notifications, and short descriptions.

Character Counter FAQs

Does the character counter include spaces? +
Yes. The main character count includes spaces, punctuation, symbols, tabs, and line breaks. The tool also shows a count without spaces and without all whitespace.
What is the difference between characters and letters? +
Characters include letters, numbers, punctuation, symbols, spaces, and line breaks. Letters only count alphabetic characters.
Can I set my own character limit? +
Yes. Use the custom limit field to track remaining characters for any form, app, website, or platform.
Is this different from a word counter? +

Is my text uploaded? +
No. The counter runs locally in your browser and does not save or upload your text.
