Word Counter

Character counter

Count characters with and without spaces as you type, and check them against X, Instagram, SMS and SEO limits.

The counts below update as you type. Your text is saved on this device automatically.

What it does

Type or paste your text and the Characters box counts every character as you see it: letters, numbers, punctuation, spaces and line breaks. No spaces, just below, leaves out spaces, tabs and line breaks. An emoji or an accented letter counts as one.

The Limits panel checks the same text against the limits people look up most, from a 150-character Instagram bio to a 5,000-character YouTube description, and shows how many characters are left for each.

How to use it

  1. Type or paste your text in the box.
  2. Read Characters (with spaces) and No spaces in the counts.
  3. Need a limit? Tap the goal ring, choose Characters and set At most, or tap Use as limit beside a platform. Anything past it is highlighted.

Everything is counted on this device. Nothing you write is uploaded, and it works offline.

Good for

  • Application forms and bios with a character limit
  • Social posts, captions and ad copy
  • Meta titles and descriptions for a web page
  • Text messages, to see when an SMS splits in two
  • Checking a translation or abstract against a set length

Questions

Are spaces counted as characters?

Yes. The main Characters count includes spaces, line breaks and punctuation, which is how most limits count. The No spaces figure leaves out spaces, tabs and line breaks.

How is an emoji counted?

As one character, the way it looks. Some platforms count differently: X counts most emoji as 2, and one emoji switches a text message to the 70-character limit. The Limits panel shows each platform's own count.
