About Character Counter
A character counter analyzes text in real time, providing statistics like character count (with and without spaces), word count, sentence count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time. It also shows progress against popular social media character limits, helping you craft content that fits platform requirements.
How to Use
Type or paste your text into the input area. Statistics update instantly as you type. The stats grid shows all text metrics at a glance. Below, social media limit indicators show how your text length compares to platform limits — green means you're within the limit, yellow means you're approaching it, and red means you've exceeded it.
Common Use Cases
- Writing tweets that fit within Twitter's 280-character limit
- Crafting Instagram captions within the 2,200-character limit
- Optimizing LinkedIn posts for maximum engagement
- Checking word count for essays, articles, or assignments
- Estimating reading time for blog posts and newsletters
