Character Counter

Count characters with and without spaces, and line count, in real time.

Category: Text Tools

When to use?

Use it when writing where there is a character limit — social posts, blog posts, cover letters. Check in real time against limits like X (Twitter) 280 characters, Instagram captions, or resume sections.

How to use

  • Paste or type text into the input.
  • Characters with spaces, without spaces, and line count update in real time.
  • Check the figures and adjust your text.

Input Explanation

Enter any language freely. Korean, English, numbers, and emoji are all supported.

Calculation Basis

With-spaces counts every character; without-spaces excludes spaces, tabs, and line breaks. Line count is based on line breaks (Enter).

Usage Examples

  • Check social post length - Check in real time whether you exceed a platform's character limit.
  • Check manuscript length - Track length in real time to meet a submission character count.
  • Count characters without spaces - Gauge the actual content amount by the no-space character count.

Examples

  • "Hello there" → 11 with spaces, 10 without, 1 line
  • Text with two line breaks → counted as 3 lines (empty lines count)

Cautions

  • Counts can differ by whether spaces are included and how line-break characters (LF/CRLF) are handled.
  • Results may differ from other tools depending on line-break handling, space settings, and Unicode (UTF-8) grapheme splitting.

Guides

With and without spaces

The with-spaces count includes every entered character; the without-spaces count excludes spaces, tabs, and line breaks.

Check submission rules

Cover letters and manuscripts may require character, byte, or word counts. Check the byte counter too when needed.

FAQ

Does "without spaces" also exclude line breaks?

Yes, it excludes all whitespace including spaces, tabs, and line breaks.

Does it count mixed Korean, English, and numbers accurately?

How is line count calculated?

By line breaks (Enter); an empty input shows 0 lines.

How are emoji counted?

Emoji may count as 1–2 character units depending on internal encoding.
