Character Count vs. Word Count

While word counters are great for essays, Character Counters are essential for the web. Computers, databases, and social media platforms measure text by the byte or character, including spaces.

Social Media Character Limits (2025)

Use the progress bars above to optimize your content for:

Twitter (X): 280 characters. Going over splits your tweet into a thread.
SMS (Text Message): 160 characters. Exceeding this counts as 2 billable credits.
Google Titles: 60 characters. Any longer and Google cuts it off with "..." in search results.
