What is Character Counter?

A real-time character and line counting tool. Useful when creating content with character limits like X(Twitter) posts, blog articles, or reports.

Results appear instantly as you type, with multiple counting methods available (with/without spaces). You can also check manuscript paper equivalents and UTF-8 byte size. All processing happens in your browser—nothing is sent to external servers.

How to Use

Just type or paste text into the text area. Results will appear in real-time on the right panel.

Use Cases

• Social media - X's 140-character limit, Instagram captions
• Blog & articles - Check target word count, SEO optimization
• Reports & papers - Verify required character count or page count
• Programming - Check code line count and file size

Count Types Explained

📝 Characters (3 types)

• w/ spaces - All characters including line breaks and spaces. For checking total text volume
• w/o spaces - Characters excluding line breaks and spaces. For actual text content
• trimmed - Excludes only leading/trailing spaces from each line. Useful for indented code where mid-line spaces matter

📊 Lines (2 types)

• w/ empty - All lines including empty ones
• w/o empty - Only lines with content

📄 Manuscript

Pages when converted to 400-character manuscript paper. Calculated by dividing character count (w/o spaces) by 400. Helpful for school assignments and reports.

💾 Size

Byte count in UTF-8 encoding. Japanese characters take about 3 bytes each, so this differs from character count. Useful for estimating file sizes.
