How it works
- 1
Paste your text
Type or paste the text you need to measure — a bio, a tweet, an SMS, a meta description.
- 2
Watch the character count
Total characters (including spaces), word count and sentence count update as you type.
- 3
Fit the limit
Trim your text until it's under the platform's character limit — 280 for a tweet, ~160 for a meta description, 160 for an SMS.
FAQ
- Does this tool upload my text anywhere?
- No. Everything runs in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server.
- Does the character count include spaces?
- Yes — the total character count includes spaces; word and sentence counts are shown separately alongside it.
- What is it useful for?
- Checking text against a strict character limit — tweets (280), SMS (160), meta descriptions (~155-160), bios and form fields.
