What this tool does

Meta descriptions, ads, and form fields often have character limits, not word limits. Count with and without spaces before you paste the copy.

Avoid trimming a description at the last second. Everything runs in your browser; your text is not uploaded.

Good fit

SEO descriptions, social posts, ad copy, and application form limits.

Not a fit

Assuming every platform counts emoji or accented characters the same way.

With and without spaces

Both counts are shown, because platforms disagree about which one they mean.

No upload

The text stays in the browser.
