Character Counter

Count characters in your text

Count characters with and without spaces. Perfect for social media posts, SMS messages, and any content with character limits like Twitter/X (280), Instagram (2200), or LinkedIn (3000).

How it works

The result is derived through the following steps:

  1. text = inputs.text || ''
  2. characters = text.length
  3. charactersNoSpaces = text.replace(/\s/g, '').length
  4. words = text.trim() ? text.trim().split(/\s+/).length : 0
  5. twitterRemaining = 280 - characters
  6. smsMessages = ceil(characters / 160) || 1
