Frequently asked questions
What does this character counter measure?
It counts characters with and without spaces, words, UTF-8 bytes, lines and paragraphs in real time.
Can I check social media character limits?
Yes. Live meters compare your text with common limits for X posts, Instagram captions, YouTube titles, meta titles and meta descriptions.
Why can bytes be higher than characters?
Emoji and many non-Latin characters use more than one byte in UTF-8, so byte length can be larger than the visible character count.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Every calculation happens locally in your browser and your text never leaves your device.
