Character Counter
Count characters with or without spaces, in real time.
About Character Counter
The Character Counter tallies the exact number of characters in your text, with an option to include or exclude spaces, updating live as you type. It's built for hard limits — tweets, SMS, meta titles and descriptions, database fields, and profile bios. Counting runs locally in your browser with nothing uploaded. Need words and sentences too? Use the Word Counter, or trim extra spacing with the Whitespace Remover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I count characters without spaces?
Yes. The tool shows both totals at once — characters including spaces and characters excluding spaces — so you can match whichever limit your platform enforces.
Does it count emoji as one character?
Emoji and other symbols are counted as the characters they occupy, which mirrors how most platforms measure length toward their limits.
Is Character Counter free to use?
Yes. Character Counter is completely free with no sign-up, no subscription, and no usage limits. Every tool on CodeUtilityKit is free forever.
Is my data safe when I use Character Counter?
Absolutely. Character Counter runs entirely in your browser. Your input is processed locally with JavaScript and is never sent to, stored on, or logged by any server — so it is safe even for private or sensitive data.
