How this character counter works
This tool counts every character in the text, including spaces and punctuation. It also shows a version without spaces along with supporting text metrics.
Characters without spaces = all characters excluding spaces, tabs, and line breaks
Use it when checking text limits for forms, social posts, captions, messages, and any field with a strict character allowance.
Examples
Example 2
Application forms and bios often have character limits rather than word limits.
Example 3
Writers can use this tool to compare character count with word count and reading time.
Frequently asked questions
Does this count spaces?
Yes. The main character count includes spaces, and a separate metric shows the count without spaces.
Does it count line breaks?
Yes. Line breaks count as characters in the total count.
How is reading time estimated?
The estimate is based on a simple words-per-minute reading speed and is meant as a quick approximation.
