Character Limits
“Length limits are everywhere in content work: meta descriptions, ad copy, social posts, editorial word counts. A word counter sounds trivial until you realize how many times a day you paste text somewhere just to measure it. This one is instant, private, and free, the way a utility should be.”

Perfect for writers, bloggers, and content creators who need precise length control.
Perfect for Writers, Bloggers & Content Creators
Need to hit a specific word count? Checking character limits for social media? Our word counter tool gives you real-time stats as you type. No delays, no page refreshes — every keystroke updates all nine metrics simultaneously.
Track words, characters (with and without spaces), paragraphs, sentences, unique words, average sentence length, and estimated reading and speaking time. The readability panel scores your text with Flesch Reading Ease and the Flesch-Kincaid grade level, so you know whether your writing matches your audience — plain English for a general readership, or denser prose for a specialist one.
Great for essays, blog posts, social media, and any content with specific length requirements.

Pro Tips for Content Creators
Use these benchmarks alongside the counter to optimize your content for every platform and use case.
Aim for 1,000–2,000 words for SEO-friendly content. Longer posts tend to rank better in search engines, but quality matters more than length.
X: 280 chars, Instagram: 2,200 chars, LinkedIn: 3,000 chars. Use the live limits panel to stay within platform requirements before copying.
Keep meta descriptions between 150–160 characters for optimal display in search results without truncation. Google often rewrites longer ones.
Average readers prefer 3–7 minute articles (600–1,400 words). Use the reading time estimate to gauge whether your content matches your audience's attention span.
