Character Counter
Check character counts against common social media and meta tag limits while you write.
Different platforms cut text at different lengths. This counter shows your exact character count so you can trim a post, a meta description or an SMS before publishing.
Counts update as you type.
How to use this tool
Paste your draft, watch the character total, and edit until it fits the limit you are targeting.
Example use case
A marketer trims a meta description to about 155 characters so it is less likely to be truncated in search results.
Limitations and accuracy notes
Platforms count emoji, links and mentions in their own way, so your final count on a specific network can differ slightly.
Frequently asked questions
Does it count spaces?
Both totals are shown, with and without spaces.
What is a safe meta description length?
Around 150 to 160 characters is a common guideline.
Are emoji counted as one character?
Many emoji use more than one code unit, so platform counts may vary.
