Count chars with Twitter, SMS and platform limits
About Character Counter
How Character Counter Works
Type text and it counts characters live against limits like Twitter, SMS, and meta descriptions in your browser. Everything runs client-side, so your drafts never leave the device.
The Character Counter tallies characters in your text and shows live progress against common platform limits such as Twitter posts, SMS messages, and meta descriptions. A typical use case is writing a tweet or an SEO meta description and making sure it fits the allowed length without being truncated. The tool highlights when you approach or exceed each limit, so you can trim proactively. All counting happens in the browser, so your drafts stay private. It is a focused alternative to the full word counter when length caps matter more than prose statistics, and it helps avoid the embarrassment of cut-off social posts.
