→ Character Counter lets you count characters in your text instantly in your browser — free, no sign-up, no file uploads to servers.
Use our free Character Counter to count characters in your text. Works instantly in your browser — no downloads, no registration, no data uploaded.
The Character Counter counts characters, words, sentences, and paragraphs in any text with a live display that updates as you type — the precision tool for social media posts, SMS messages, email subject lines, and form fields with strict character limits. Character counts matter differently from word counts: Twitter counts characters, SEO meta descriptions are judged by character length, and SMS pricing changes at 160 characters. WebSurfTools' free Character Counter handles all these use cases instantly in your browser.
