Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between characters with and without spaces?
Many platforms (like X/Twitter) count every character including spaces; others count letters only. Both figures are shown so you can match whatever limit you are working with.
How do I count characters for a social media post?
Paste your draft into the box and the character count updates instantly. Compare it with the platform’s limit – 280 for X/Twitter, 2,200 for Instagram captions and 3,000 for Facebook posts.
Does the counter include line breaks?
Yes. Each line break counts as one character in the Characters figure. Switch to Characters (no spaces) to exclude spaces and line breaks entirely.
Is my text safe when I use this tool?
Yes. Counting happens entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Your text is never sent to a server, never stored and never logged.
