Character Count Tool
Count characters, words, sentences, and more, live as you type.
Everything is counted live in your browser as you type. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
What is Character Count Tool?
Paste or type text and see its character count instantly, alongside words, sentences, lines, and estimated reading time — the same counting engine behind Word Count Tool, with the character count front and center for anywhere a character limit matters (a tweet, a meta description, a form field). Counting happens live as you type, entirely in your browser — nothing you paste is sent anywhere. That makes it a quick way to check a headline against a strict character cap, trim a meta description to fit Google's display limit, or verify a form field's max-length before it gets rejected server-side.
