About Character & Word Counting
Writers, students, and developers often need to meet character or word limits. This tool gives you instant counts as you type—useful for essays, social media posts, meta descriptions, and code comments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this counter measure?
It counts characters (with and without spaces), words, lines, and paragraphs. Words are split by whitespace. Paragraphs are blocks of text separated by blank lines.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. All counting happens in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
Why count characters with and without spaces?
Some platforms (e.g. Twitter, SMS) limit by total characters. Others (e.g. academic word counts) exclude spaces. Having both helps you meet different requirements.
Is this counter free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up or limits.
