How to use the character counter
- Type or paste the text you want to check.
- Compare the character total with the limit of your form, bio or message.
- Trim your text until it fits, then copy it.
Many forms, bios, SMS fields and social posts limit characters. The total with spaces counts everything you typed, including spaces and line breaks. The second figure ignores all whitespace.
Frequently asked questions
Are spaces included?
Yes. The first total includes spaces and line breaks. The second total excludes all whitespace.
How are emoji counted?
Simple emoji count as one character, while combined emoji such as flags or family emoji can count as more. Some platforms count emoji and links differently, so leave a small margin.
Does the counter store my text?
