Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between "Characters" and "Characters (no spaces)"?

"Total Characters" includes every character in your text - letters, numbers, symbols, spaces, and punctuation. "Characters (no spaces)" counts only the visible characters, excluding spaces. This is useful for platforms that have character limits but don't count spaces.

What does "Characters (no punctuation)" mean?

This counts only letters, numbers, and spaces, excluding all punctuation marks (.,!?:;"'- etc.). This metric is useful for analyzing the actual textual content without considering formatting characters.

How are words counted?

Words are counted by splitting the text at spaces and punctuation. Consecutive spaces or punctuation marks are not counted as words. For example, "Hello, world!" counts as 2 words.

What's the difference between lines and paragraphs?

"Lines" counts every line in your text (separated by line breaks). "Paragraphs" counts blocks of text separated by blank lines or multiple line breaks. A single paragraph can span multiple lines.

Can I use this for social media character limits?

Absolutely! Our character counter is perfect for checking text against social media limits like Twitter (280 characters), Facebook posts, Instagram captions, LinkedIn posts, and more.

Does the tool count emojis and special characters?

Yes, emojis and special characters are counted as characters. Some platforms count emojis differently, so it's always good to check on the actual platform for exact counts.

Is my text stored or saved anywhere?

Is this tool completely free?
