Character Counter

Paste or type text to see the character count first, then characters without spaces and the word count. Counting happens on this page only.

How it works

Characters include letters, punctuation, spaces and line breaks — the length of the string. Characters without spaces strip every whitespace character, including new lines and tabs. Words are non-whitespace tokens, so “don't” is one word. The tool does not quote live social-network limits; those change and would go stale. Your text is not sent to analytics or any backend.

Formula

Characters = length of the text
Characters without spaces = length after removing whitespace
Words = non-whitespace tokens

Worked examples

Hello world → 11 characters, 10 without spaces, 2 words
a b → 3 characters, 2 without spaces

FAQ

Do spaces count as characters?: Yes, in the main count. The second figure removes all whitespace if you need letters-and-punctuation only.
Is my text uploaded?: No. The count runs in your browser. MultiConvers does not send the box contents to a server.
Do you show Twitter or SMS limits?: No. Platform caps change. Count the characters here and compare them to the limit you care about.
