Character and Word Counter

A character counter is a practical online tool that automatically counts the number of characters, words, sentences, and lines in a text. This tool is particularly useful for writers, students, content creators, social media managers, and anyone working with text length restrictions.

Our free online character counter analyzes your text in real-time and instantly provides accurate statistics. You can use it to check the length of your texts for various platforms, whether for Twitter (280 characters), meta descriptions (155-160 characters), or academic papers with word limits.

In the digital world, there are numerous situations where text length plays an important role. Social media platforms have strict character limits: Twitter allows 280 characters, Instagram captions should stay under 2,200 characters, and Facebook posts work best with 40-80 characters.

For SEO optimization, precise text lengths are also crucial. Meta titles should be between 50-60 characters long, while meta descriptions ideally comprise 155-160 characters. Our tool helps you meet these requirements and optimize your content.

In academia, when writing applications, or creating presentations, word and character limits are also common. With our character counter, you always keep track and avoid time-wasting revisions.

Our character counter offers more than just simple counting. It shows you the total number of characters (with spaces), characters without spaces, word count, and line count. This differentiated analysis is important because different platforms and requirements use different counting methods.

Particularly practical: Real-time updating means you immediately see how changes affect the statistics. Whether you're composing a tweet, writing an email, creating a blog post, or writing a scientific paper – our tool adapts to your needs.

The tool works completely locally in your browser, which means your texts remain private and are not stored on our servers. You can analyze confidential documents without concern.

Content Marketing: Check the length of your meta descriptions to ensure they are fully displayed in search results. Optimize blog introductions for maximum impact.

Social Media: Create perfectly formatted posts for Twitter, LinkedIn, or Instagram. Avoid truncated texts and maximize your engagement with optimally long posts.

Academic Writing: Adhere to word limits for essays, abstracts, or summaries. Check if your work meets the specified requirements.

Applications: Ensure your cover letter has the ideal length – not too short, not too long. A well-structured cover letter with the right length significantly increases your chances.
