Social Media Character Counter
Count characters, words and lines as you write. Check captions, bios and YouTube text against a preset or your own limit.

Characters are Unicode code points, including whitespace and line breaks. Combined emoji and accents can count as several points. Words are whitespace-separated groups; blank text has zero lines. Presets are planning references, not platform validation: platforms may measure text differently. Confirm the final text in the publishing app.
How to use
Paste or type your text. Choose a preset or enter a positive whole-number limit. All counting happens on this device; your text is not sent anywhere.
Common questions
Why can my platform show a different count?
Platforms can use different Unicode rules or special handling for links and emoji. This tool consistently counts code points, not visible symbols. The limit includes whitespace; the separate whitespace-free total removes spaces, tabs and line breaks.
