Character & Word Counter
Type or paste your text to count characters, words, and sentences, and to see at a glance whether it fits an X post, an Instagram bio, a text message, or a Google search result, counted the way each site actually counts.
Common words like “the” and “and” are left out.
X counts most emoji and Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters as two, and every link as 23 no matter how long it is. That's why a post can look short and still be over the limit.
Text messages are sent in chunks. Plain text fits 160 characters per message, but a single emoji or curly apostrophe switches the whole message to a different encoding that only fits 70. Long messages are split into parts, and each part costs the same as a whole text on many plans.
Characters here are what you see: 👍🏽 counts as one, even though it's built from two pieces behind the scenes. Reading time assumes about 238 words a minute; speaking time about 150. Everything runs in your browser; your text never leaves your device.
