Character Counter
Paste any text and see characters, words, lines, and reading time at once — plus whether it fits Twitter, SMS, and meta-description limits.
Overview
Most character counters give you one number and stop. This one measures length the way a writer actually needs it: characters with and without spaces, words, sentences, lines, reading and speaking time, and — the part that matters — whether the text is under or over the limits that bite, from Twitter's 280 to a 160-character meta description. This loads a single paragraph so you can see the full read-out at a glance. It measures text for people and platforms; for model tokens and cost, that's the Token Counter.
Workflow
-
Paste the text
Any text — the report shows counts only, never echoes your content.
-
Read every metric
Characters, words, lines, sentences, and reading time together.
-
Check the limits
See at a glance which platform limits the text fits or busts.
Why This Works
- Every length metric a writer needs is in one read-out, not just a single count
- Platform-limit checks turn a raw number into a go / no-go for where it ships
- Counts only — your text is measured, never stored or echoed
Best for
- A fast, complete length read-out

Not for
- Counting tokens or estimating cost — that's the Token Counter
- Deciding context-window fit — that's the Context Window Estimator
Use cases
