About

Type or paste text and see live counts for characters (with and without spaces), words, lines, and bytes. Set a limit (like Twitter's 280) and the counter goes red when you exceed it. Good for tweets, SMS, meta descriptions.

How to use

  1. Type or paste text.
  2. Optionally set a character limit.
  3. Watch the counts update live.

FAQ

Why does the byte count differ from character count?+

ASCII characters are one byte each. Most accented Latin characters are two bytes in UTF-8. Most emoji are four bytes. The byte count matters for SMS pricing and database limits.
