About this tool
With the Character Counter, you can count characters with and without spaces, plus words and lines. You fill in your text and click “Count Characters” — the result appears on the same page within seconds. It is free to use, needs no sign-up, and there is nothing to install.
Your audience is not only on YouTube — they scroll Instagram, TikTok, X and LinkedIn too. The Character Counter is made for that wider creator life, helping you prepare posts, bios, captions and links for other platforms. It is quick enough to use every day, which matters when you are posting across several apps at once.
It works in a few quick steps. First, type or paste your text in the box above. Next, the counts update live as you type — no need to click anything. Then, check characters with spaces, characters without spaces, words and lines below. After that, use it to check titles, bios and posts against platform limits.
What you get is a worked-out figure, not a judgement. Compare it with your own analytics over time, and it becomes a useful planning number — for setting targets, checking progress, or deciding what to try next. One thing worth knowing: characters with spaces counts every letter, number, space and punctuation mark. This is a planning estimate, not a promise. Real-world figures move with your audience, your niche and the season, so use it to guide decisions, not to make guarantees.
- Double-check your text before you click “Count Characters” — a typo or an extra space is the most common cause of a strange result.
- Keep in mind that no.
- Adapt, do not copy-paste: a caption that works on Instagram usually needs a rewrite for LinkedIn or X.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between characters with and without spaces?
Characters with spaces counts every letter, number, space and punctuation mark. Characters without spaces skips spaces, tabs and line breaks — useful for platforms that count only visible characters.
Is my text saved anywhere?
No. Counting happens live in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded or stored on our servers.
Can I check a YouTube title or tweet length here?
Yes. Paste your title or post and watch the character count live — YouTube titles work best under 100 characters, and X posts must stay under 280.
