About Character Counter

This character counter gives you a complete breakdown of your text: total characters (with and without spaces), words, sentences, paragraphs, lines, letters, digits, and special characters. Set a character limit to track usage against Twitter's 280-character cap, Google meta description limits, or any custom threshold. The progress bar turns amber near the limit and red when you exceed it. Everything updates as you type.
