Character Counter
Count characters with and without spaces, letters, digits, and more.
Why Count Characters?
Character limits are everywhere online. Social media platforms, email subject lines, SMS messages, meta descriptions, and database fields all enforce maximum character counts. Knowing exactly how many characters your text contains helps you craft content that fits within these constraints without trimming blindly.
Common Character Limits
- Twitter / X: 280 characters per post
- Instagram bio: 150 characters
- Instagram caption: 2,200 characters
- Google meta description: 160 characters
- Google meta title: 60 characters
- SMS message: 160 characters (single segment)
- LinkedIn post: 3,000 characters
Characters With vs. Without Spaces
Some platforms count every character including spaces; others count only non-space characters. Our tool shows both counts simultaneously so you can check against whichever limit applies to your situation.
Letters and Digits Breakdown
The letters-only and digits-only counts are useful for data validation tasks — for example, checking that a field contains exactly 10 digits (a phone number) or verifying that a string contains only alphabetic characters.
