Why character count matters
Character limits show up everywhere: search snippets, ad headlines, bio fields and SMS campaigns. Counting by hand is slow and error-prone, so paste your draft here and trim until the counter sits inside the limit you need.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the character count include spaces?
- Countly shows both totals side by side: characters with spaces and characters without spaces.
- Can I use it for social media limits?
- Yes. Watch the 'with spaces' number — that is what X, LinkedIn and SMS use to enforce their limits.
