Instantly count characters, words, and lines in your text
Counting characters, words, and lines manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Our online Character & Word Counter is fast, accurate, and user-friendly. Perfect for writers, students, bloggers, content creators, and developers who need precise text statistics.
Paste or type your text into the textarea. The tool will instantly display the number of characters, words, and lines. Use the Copy button to copy your text or Reset to clear the textarea and start fresh.
This tool counts the total number of characters in your text, including or excluding spaces, which is essential for meeting strict character limits on platforms like Twitter/X, meta descriptions, or SMS.
The tool counts every character you type or paste in real time, and typically shows both the count including spaces and punctuation, and the count with spaces excluded.
Most versions show both counts — with spaces and without — so you can check either figure depending on the platform's rules.
It can generally handle long documents, though extremely large text blocks may process slightly slower depending on your device.
Standard characters, punctuation, and most emoji are counted, though some complex emoji may count as more than one character depending on encoding.
