Platform Character Limits
About the Character Counter
Our character counter is an essential tool for writers, marketers, and anyone who needs to work within character limits. Whether you are crafting a tweet, writing an Instagram caption, or optimizing your meta descriptions for SEO, this tool helps you stay within the required limits.
The tool shows you both character counts — with and without spaces — because different platforms count characters differently. Some platforms include spaces in their limit, while others do not.

Frequently Asked Questions
Simply type or paste your text into the text area above. The character count updates automatically in real-time. You can see both the count with spaces and without spaces.
Characters with spaces includes every single character in your text, including spaces, tabs, and line breaks. Characters without spaces excludes all whitespace, giving you only the count of actual letters, numbers, and punctuation.
Each platform has designed their character limits based on their specific use case. Twitter uses 280 characters for quick updates, Instagram allows 2,200 for detailed captions, and SMS is limited to 160 characters due to technical constraints.
