Frequently Asked Questions
What character limits does this tool track?▾
It tracks common platform limits: Twitter/X posts (280 characters), meta descriptions (160), title tags (60), and SMS messages (160). These are shown as progress bars.
Does it count spaces as characters?▾
The tool shows both counts: total characters (including spaces) and characters without spaces. Most platform limits count spaces as characters.
What happens when I exceed a limit?▾
The progress bar turns red and shows the overflow amount, making it easy to see how many characters you need to trim.
Is my text stored anywhere?▾
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server or stored anywhere.
Does this work on mobile devices?▾
Yes. The character counter runs entirely in your browser and works on any device with a modern browser, including phones and tablets.
Can I use this for social media posts?▾
Yes. The built-in Twitter/X (280 chars) and SMS (160 chars) limit trackers make this ideal for crafting posts that fit within platform character limits.
Does it count emojis as one character?▾
Emojis may count as two or more characters depending on the emoji. JavaScript counts Unicode code points, and some emojis use multiple code points. Platform character limits vary in how they count emojis.
