Frequently Asked Questions
Do spaces count as characters?
Both numbers are shown side by side — characters including spaces, and characters excluding all whitespace — so you can match any platform's limit.
What's the difference between this and the word counter?
This tool leads with character counts (useful for bios, headlines and meta descriptions), while the word counter leads with word counts plus reading time and keyword density.
Does it count emojis correctly?
Emojis are counted using JavaScript string length, which matches how most platforms count them. Complex multi-codepoint emojis may count as more than one character.
