TextFree online character counter with Twitter (280), LinkedIn (3000), and meta description (160) limit indicators. Count characters with and without spaces.
How to use the Character Counter
To use Character Counter, type or paste your content into the input field. The tool works entirely in your browser, so long documents process just as quickly as short snippets. Most operations have additional options — case sensitivity, character exclusions, output format — shown as toggles or dropdowns below the input area.
Why use the Character Counter
Character Counter eliminates the friction of switching between applications for basic text tasks. Instead of copying text into a word processor to count words, then into a different tool to change case, then into another to remove duplicates, you do everything in one page. The results are instant because nothing is uploaded to a server.
When to use Character Counter
Character Counter is ideal for students and researchers who need to format citations, remove extra whitespace from copied text, or transform data from one academic format to another. Since everything runs locally, you can paste draft material or unpublished findings without confidentiality concerns.

Character Counter processes text entirely in your browser for speed and privacy. There are no file size limits, the output preserves your original formatting where applicable, and the clean interface means you focus on your content rather than navigating tool clutter. Paste, transform, copy — it takes seconds.
