Quick answers for Character Counter
What is the Character Counter?
It counts characters in your browser: total length, without spaces, without newlines, letters only, and digits only. It does not show platform-specific limit bars.
Does the Character Counter count spaces?
Yes. Totals are shown with and without spaces (and without newlines) so you can compare against whatever limit you are targeting yourself.
Does it enforce Twitter, LinkedIn, or meta-description caps?
No. Those platform rules are not built into this page. Use the live totals and compare them to the limit you care about.
Does my text leave the browser?
No. Counting runs locally after the page loads - no upload and no signup. For words, sentences, and reading time together, use Word Counter.
