About the Character Counter
Every platform has a different character ceiling: 280 for a tweet, 160 for a single SMS, around 60 for a Google title and 160 for a meta description. This counter shows your total characters, characters ignoring spaces, and words, then measures your text against each platform limit with a live progress bar so you can see at a glance how much room is left. It is the quickest way to write copy that fits — every time.
How to use the Character Counter
