Quick answers for Character Counter
What is the Character Counter?
The Character Counter is a free online tool that counts characters and words and tracks your progress against four built-in limits: Tweet/X (280), LinkedIn (3,000), Meta Description (160), and Google Title (60). Perfect for writing content that has to fit.
Does the Character Counter count spaces?
Yes. It displays totals both with and without spaces, so you can match whatever limit a platform enforces.
What Twitter/X character limit does the Character Counter use?
The Character Counter uses 280 characters, the default Twitter/X limit for free accounts. Premium accounts allow longer posts, but the bar still warns you whenever you cross 280 because that is the limit non-Premium followers see.
Is meta description length really capped at 160?
Google truncates meta descriptions around 155–160 characters on desktop and around 120 on mobile. The Character Counter uses 160 as a safe upper bound for SEO.
Does the Character Counter work offline?
Yes. Once this page has loaded, the Character Counter runs entirely in your browser - no server calls, no tracking, and no signup.
