Frequently Asked Questions
Does the character count include spaces?
We show both. "Characters" counts every character including spaces, tabs and line breaks; "No spaces" counts only visible letters, numbers and punctuation. Most platforms — Twitter/X, SMS — count with spaces, so that is usually the number that matters for a limit.
What is the character limit for a tweet?
A standard X/Twitter post allows 280 characters. This counter shows your live count against 280 and other common limits, turning red once you go over so you can trim before posting.
What is the ideal meta title and description length?
Google typically shows about 60 characters of a title tag and 160 of a meta description before truncating with an ellipsis. Staying under those keeps your search snippet intact — the tool tracks both limits.
Is my text private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you type is uploaded or sent to a server; it autosaves only in your own browser's local storage and clearing the box removes it.
