About this tool
Every platform has a limit: 280 characters on X, 160 in an SMS and a meta description, 2,200 in an Instagram caption. This counter tracks characters (with and without spaces), words, sentences, lines and paragraphs live as you type — and shows exactly how much room you have left on the platforms that matter.
Everything runs locally in your browser; your text is never uploaded.
How to use
- Type or paste your text.
- Watch every count update live.
- Check the platform-limit line to see remaining characters.
