How it works
Use the calculator first, then scan the details below when you want more context about the inputs, result, or assumptions.
How to use it
Paste or type content, then use the separate counts to check a form, post, or writing limit.
Understand the result
Characters with spaces and without spaces answer different limit questions; lines and paragraphs reflect the entered formatting.
Example
A social post limit may count every character including spaces, while a manuscript guideline may count words.
Notes
Counts are based on the text entered and do not know how a third-party platform handles emojis or special characters.
