Frequently Asked Questions

Does the counter include spaces?
Yes, the total character count includes spaces. A separate 'Characters (no spaces)' count is also provided so you can see both values.
How is punctuation counted?
Punctuation includes any character that is not a letter, digit, or whitespace — such as periods, commas, exclamation marks, brackets, and special symbols.
How are lines counted?
Lines are counted by splitting the text on newline characters. A single line of text with no line breaks counts as 1 line.
What is the character limit for Twitter/X posts and meta descriptions?
Twitter/X posts allow up to 280 characters. Meta descriptions are typically recommended to stay under 155-160 characters. Use this tool to quickly check that your text fits within these limits.
