Against common limits
These are the limits these platforms are known for; they do change, so check the platform before you rely on one.

Paste your text to see its character count, then check it against the limits used by social posts, SMS messages, search results and captions.
How to use it
- Paste or type your text.
- Read the character counts above the limits table.
- Use the table to see how much room is left — or how far over you are.
Good to know
- The limits are the ones these platforms are known for; they do change, so check the platform before you rely on one.
- An emoji usually counts as two characters here, because your browser stores it as two code units. Some platforms count the same way, others do not.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my character count different from what the platform reports?
Platforms count in their own way — some treat an emoji as one character, others as two. This counter counts the characters as your browser stores them.
Do spaces count as characters?
Both numbers are shown: the total including spaces, and the total without them.
