Count characters with and without spaces.
Some writing limits count spaces and punctuation, while others exclude whitespace. This tool reports both totals so you can compare them.
Character counting is useful when a form, headline, message, or platform imposes a length limit. Depending on the text and counting method, spaces and line breaks may be included in the total.
A phrase such as “Hello world” contains 11 characters when the space is included. Removing the space changes the count, which is why it is important to know whether a service counts spaces and formatting characters.
Copying text from another application can introduce hidden line breaks or unusual whitespace. If your final submission is close to a limit, check the exact text you plan to submit rather than a shortened version.
Use the counter for social posts, form fields, titles, SMS-style messages, descriptions, and other places where length matters. If you need words rather than characters, the Word Counter gives a different measure.
The tool can report characters according to its displayed counting method. Check the result labels on the page when spaces or line breaks matter for a specific limit.
Platforms can treat spaces, line breaks, emoji, and other Unicode characters differently. A platform's own counter is the final authority when you are working against a strict limit.
It is useful for checking text limits in forms, titles, messages, social posts, and other fields with character restrictions.
