Count characters with & without spaces
Our character counter instantly analyzes your text as you type or paste it. It provides a real-time count of characters with spaces, characters without spaces, total words, and total lines. The social media limit indicators show how close you are to Twitter's 280-character limit and Instagram's 2,200-character caption limit, with the bar turning red when you exceed the limit. This tool is perfect for writers, social media managers, and anyone who needs to stay within character limits.
