About this tool
Character counting with context: raw length, Unicode-grapheme length and distance from familiar platform limits, updating on every keystroke.
How to use it
- Paste or type your text.
- Watch the limit meters for the platform you're writing for.
- Trim until every meter turns green.
Frequently asked questions
Do emojis and accented letters count as one?
Counts use JavaScript string length by default plus a grapheme-aware total that treats 👍 or é as one character. Both are shown so you can match whichever a platform uses.
Which platform limits are included?
Common ones: X/Twitter post, SMS, Instagram caption, Meta description and title tag. Limits are well-known public values, shown as guidance.
Private?
Yes — everything is computed in your browser; no network requests carry your text.
