Frequently asked questions

Is my data saved on a server when using this character counter?

Text is counted in your browser. This tool does not send or save your text to a server. Use Clear to empty the input.

Can I use this for social media character limits?

Yes. Use “Characters (All)” as a baseline. Note that some platforms count URLs and other elements differently, so confirm on the posting screen for final accuracy.

How are emojis counted in this character counter?

This tool uses JavaScript `length` (UTF-16 code units). Emojis and combined characters may not match the “visual” character count.

Does this character count tool work on mobile devices?

Yes. Type or paste text on your phone to update the counts as you edit.
