Character / Word Counter

About this calculator

This tool counts characters (with and without spaces), words, lines and sentences in a block of text as you type or paste it in, giving an instant breakdown instead of manually counting or exporting to a word processor.

It's used constantly against hard limits set by other platforms: Twitter/X's character cap, meta descriptions and title tags that Google truncates past a certain length, SMS messages that split into multiple segments past 160 characters, essay or assignment word-count minimums, and cover letters or resumes with a strict length rule. Writers, students, SEO editors and social media managers keep this open while drafting so they can trim or expand text to fit the exact limit they're working against.
