Character Counter Pro
Count characters and words as you type, with live limit indicators for SEO titles, meta descriptions, tweets, and social captions.
Write to a limit without guessing
So much writing has a hard ceiling: an SEO title that truncates past ~60 characters, a meta description that gets cut near 160, a tweet capped at 280, a caption at 2,200. This counter shows all of those limits at once and tells you exactly how many characters you have left, turning red the moment you go over — so you can trim in place instead of publishing something that gets clipped.
Alongside the limit indicators you get the fundamentals — characters, words, sentences, and reading time — updating live as you type. It's a fast way to shape a headline, a snippet, or a social post to the exact length the platform allows.
The limits it tracks
SEO title 60, meta description 160, X/Twitter 280, and Instagram caption 2,200 characters. These are practical display limits; a little under each is usually the safe target.
Frequently Asked Questions
What platform limits does this check?
It tracks common limits live: SEO title (~60 chars), meta description (~160), X/Twitter post (280), and Instagram caption (2,200). Each shows how many characters you have left.
Does it count spaces and emoji?
Characters include spaces and punctuation. Emoji and other symbols are counted by JavaScript string length, which is how most platforms measure a post’s length.
What is the difference from a basic word counter?
Beyond words and characters, it adds live platform limit indicators, sentence and paragraph counts, and reading time — useful when writing to a strict length.
