The Character Counter is a free, browser-based tool that gives you a detailed breakdown of any text you paste or type — character counts (with and without spaces), word counts, and other text statistics — updating live as you edit. Reach for it when you need to fit copy inside a strict limit (a tweet, a meta description, an SMS, a bio field) or when you simply want a quick, accurate count without opening a heavier editor. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
It counts every character in your text, including letters, numbers, punctuation, symbols, and spaces. Most counters also show a separate total that excludes spaces, plus word counts, so you can match whichever limit a platform measures against.
Yes, it's completely free with no sign-up, account, or usage limits. Use it as often as you need.
Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser — your text is never uploaded, sent to a server, stored, or tracked. You can even use it offline once the page has loaded.
"With spaces" counts every keystroke including the space bar; "without spaces" ignores spaces and counts only visible characters. Some platforms (and many writing-rate guidelines) measure one way, some the other — having both lets you match the exact rule that applies.
Different platforms count differently — some exclude spaces, some count line breaks, and some weigh emoji or certain Unicode characters as more than one unit. Use the count that corresponds to how your target platform measures, and treat emoji-heavy text as an approximation.
