Character Counter is a free, browser-based utility in our Text Tools collection. Count characters with and without spaces for limits, tweets, and form fields. Character Counter gives live counts when you are writing against a hard limit - meta descriptions, SMS, bios, validation rules. Check both with-spaces and without-spaces counts when the rule is ambiguous. Everything runs locally in your browser — inputs stay on your device, with no account or upload required. Highlights include count with and without spaces.
