About Character Counter
The Character Counter gives you a real-time count of characters, words, sentences, and paragraphs as you type or paste text. It's an essential tool for writers, SEO professionals, social media managers, and students who need to stay within specific character limits — such as Twitter's 280-character limit, Instagram captions, SEO meta descriptions (155 characters), SMS messages (160 characters), and essay word counts. Fast, accurate, and completely free.

- The character count, word count, sentence count, and paragraph count update in real-time.
- Check the specific limit you're targeting (e.g., 160 for an SMS, 155 for a meta description).
- Edit your text as needed until you hit the right count.
