Word and character counter
Useful for social network character limits, meta descriptions or texts with a required word count. The text stays in your browser and is not sent anywhere.
Common limits: 60 characters for a search result title, 155 for a meta description, 280 for a post on X, 2,200 for an Instagram caption.
Frequently asked questions
Do spaces count as characters?
The result shows both with and without spaces, because platforms count differently. X counts spaces, some forms do not.
How are emoji counted?
An emoji usually takes two units against platform limits, and some emoji combinations take more. The figure here can be lower than the platform's.
What reading speed is realistic?
200 words a minute for informative text, 250–300 for light fiction, 100–150 for technical text with figures.
