Frequently asked questions
Does the counter include spaces and line breaks?
It shows both totals separately so you can copy whichever number a platform expects. Some systems, like Twitter, count whitespace, while others, like SEO meta tags, sometimes do not.
How are emojis counted?
An emoji typically counts as one or two characters in UTF-16, which matches what most social platforms enforce. The counter uses the same encoding so your number lines up with what those services see.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser using plain JavaScript, so nothing you paste leaves your device.
Why does the character count differ from another tool?
Different tools count differently. We use code-unit counts that match social media platform rules, but some text editors count code points or graphemes, which can differ for emoji and combining characters.
