- Watch the character, word, line, and sentence counts update as you type.
- Use the character count to fit limits such as 160-character meta descriptions.
Frequently asked questions
- Are spaces counted as characters?
- The tool shows counts both with and without spaces so you can match whichever limit applies.
- Does it work offline?
