About This Calculator
This counter reports the total characters (optionally excluding spaces), unique character count without whitespace, words, sentences, lines, and paragraphs.
Many platforms enforce strict character limits — bios, meta descriptions, headlines — so it’s handy to check before publishing. Everything is computed locally.
Counting runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do spaces count as characters?
Yes in the primary count, but the tool also shows a separate figure with spaces removed, useful for platforms that count differently.
How are sentences counted?
Text ending in . ! or ? is split into sentences. Abbreviations (e.g. "Mr.") can inflate the count slightly, which is typical of simple counters.
