Twitter Character Counter
Twitter Character Counter: free, instant and private. Both totals are shown because the rules differ: some platforms count spaces, others do not.
How the Twitter Character Counter works
The Twitter Character Counter takes Text and returns the answer instantly — no button to hunt for, no page reload. Both totals are shown because the rules differ: some platforms count spaces, others do not. Line breaks count as characters too, which is why a multi-line paste is longer than it looks.
Enter your own numbers to replace the example values; the result panel updates as you type. Everything runs in this single page, so nothing you enter leaves your device.
Formula used
characters = every code unit, including spaces and line breaks
