Tweet lengths, meta description budgets, essay minimums; check them all in one paste.
Counts update with every keystroke, so trimming to a target takes seconds.
Characters, sentences and paragraphs come counted too, which matters for readability checks.
Plain text in, plain counts out; nothing to configure and nothing to install.
Text is counted in the browser, so drafts and client copy never reach a server.
Character limits rule social posts and search snippets: 280 on X, roughly 155 to 160 for a Google meta description, and SMS messages that split every 160 characters.
Text separated by spaces or line breaks, the same convention most word processors follow. Hyphenated terms count as a single word.
A single line break usually starts a new paragraph. Remove stray breaks if you want the count to reflect the real document structure.
Ordinary documents and articles count fine. Extremely long pastes may slow older browsers rather than fail outright.
The tool works in all modern browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari and Opera. We recommend keeping your browser up to date for the best experience.
