Character Counter — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using Character Counter.
How is the character count calculated?
We count every character including spaces, line breaks, and punctuation. The "No Spaces" stat strips out all whitespace if you need that variant.
Does it count emojis correctly?
Yes — emojis are counted as single characters, matching how Twitter and most platforms count them.
Why does my Twitter character count look different?
Twitter counts URLs as 23 characters regardless of actual length, and counts certain emojis as 2. Our count reflects raw character length; Twitter’s official count may differ slightly for those edge cases.
Can I use this offline?
Once the page is loaded, yes — all counting happens in your browser. No network required.
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No. All counting is local. Your text stays in your browser tab and is gone when you close it.
