I MAKE A LOT of blog posts on this site. And every blog post requires a title. But I need to make sure that the title isn’t too long. Or it’ll get truncated in the search engines every time. So I used to use some other online character counter tools to check everything before publishing.
But the webpages those tools were on were super slow. And filled with ads. There was way too much stuff on the pages. So I decided to create my own and put it on my site. Because my site is cleaner, and way faster. I spend lots of time optimizing it for speed and simplicity!
If you have the same problem I had, feel free to use my little tool. You can also check out my other tools for making your life simpler and faster… like my One-Click Font Pairing Generator… or check out my blog for inspiration, tips, tricks for better design and marketing. Thanks!

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
@xxxx[{::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::>
What makes this Character Counter different from all the other text counting tools?
Well, it’s super simple, super fast, and super easy to use. I think the main difference is that it’s fast and loads quickly. And there aren’t any ads on the page. So it’s clean too!
Why does this character counting tool load so fast?
This character counting tool loads so fast because… for one, there are no ads on the page… and second, I spend a lot of time optimizing my site for speed.
What can I use this online character counter for?
You can use this character counter for staying within Twitter (X) character limits, Instagram posts, TikTok, SMS, email title character limits, YouTube thumbnail text, and whatever your heart desires. I use it for SEO meta titles and descriptions.
Can this character tool count Japanese, Chinese, and Korean characters?
Yes, I tried it and this cool can count Japanese, Chinese and Korean characters. And probably characters in every other language out there. As long as you can type it on a screen, it can count it.
Is this character counter for text?
Yes, you can use this tool it for text, numbers, foreign letters, and whatever you can fit into that tiny box above, it’ll count it all up for you.
Does the character count for this tool include spaces as well as letters?
Yes, this counting tool also calculates the spaces together with letters and numbers when tallying up the total character count.
What do I do if I want the character count without the spaces?
Well, most services limit your character count including spaces. But if for some reason you need the character count without the spaces, then just take the total character count displayed, and minus the number of spaces. It’s included in the count above. And it’s the main reason I included it. Even though I don’t use that myself.
Does this character counter have an app for iPhone or Android?
If you want a quick and easy way to access this counting tool on your smartphone, just bookmark this page to your phone’s home screen. Almost all phones allow you to do that. It’ll appear as an icon on your home screen so you can access it with one click.
What are the max-length character count limits for SEO meta title and descriptions?
The character count limits for SEO meta data include: 60 characters for meta title, and around 150 characters for meta description. From what I’ve seen, it varies, but I’d stay under those numbers. Even if your SEO plugin says it’s ok to go over.
Does your character counter use AI to tabulate the data?
No! It’s not that complicated.
What are the max length character limits for Facebook Ads?
The max length character limits for Facebook Ads are (as of the time of this writing): 40 characters for your headlines, 125 characters for your primary text, and 30 characters for your descriptions.
What are the maximum character limits for Google Ads?
For Google Ads, the maximum character limits are generally around 90 characters for descriptions, 30 characters for headlines, and 15 characters for display paths.
What are the max character limits for Twitter, now known as X?
It’s currently around 280 characters per post for the average free user. If you upgrade, you can post up to 25,000 characters at a time. Unfortunately, if you go above 280 characters, you can’t schedule or save your posts as drafts. And users mentioned in your messages after the 280 character mark won’t be notified.
Can this character counter calculate the number of lines of text?
Yes, this tool calculates the number of lines of text. In addition to character counting, it also counts the number of words, spaces, and sentences too!
Why didn’t you include functionality to count the number of paragraphs?
Well, for the vast majority of people, paragraphs are super easy to count manually. So I doubt there’s a need for that in most cases. And I didn’t want to bloat up this tool. I wanted it to be fast and easy to use.
Can I use this character counter on Mac or PC?
You can use this character calculator on any device that has internet access an a modern-day browser. This include Chromebooks, Smartphones, and even the latest versions of Tamagotchis.
If I use your character counting tool for my essays, do I need to give attribution in the references section?
If you’re using my character tool for your essays, you don’t have to give attribution. But you can if you’re grateful. And it’d be a cool thing to share with your professors and friends anyway…
