What is character counter?
A character counter is a simple utility designed to count every single character in your text, including letters, numbers, punctuation, and spaces. This is particularly useful for social media platforms like Twitter (X), Instagram, and LinkedIn where post length is strictly limited.
Unlike a word counter which groups letters into words, a character counter gives you the precise length of your string. This tool is optimized for speed and works instantly as you type, helping you edit your content to fit perfectly within platform limits.
How to use character counter
- Step 1: Enter your text into the box.
- Step 2: View the total character count displayed immediately.
- Step 3: Compare your count against common limits (Example: Twitter is 280 chars).
- Step 4: Edit your text to reduce the count if necessary.
