How the Character Counter Works
WordCountNow's Character Counter gives you an instant character count for any text — both with and without spaces. It also shows word count, line count, and paragraph count so you get a full picture of your text's size.
Where Character Limits Matter
- Twitter/X: 280 characters per post
- SMS: 160 characters per message (concatenation applies beyond this)
- Meta descriptions: 150–160 characters for optimal display
- Google Ads headlines: 30 characters per headline
- Email subject lines: 40–60 characters for best open rates
