Frequently Asked Questions
What platforms are supported?
The character count works for any platform. Common limits for reference: X (Twitter) 280, Instagram caption 2,200, YouTube title 100, Meta description 160.
How is the character count calculated?
Characters are counted by Unicode code points, which is how most platforms measure length. Emojis may count differently depending on the platform.
Does X (Twitter) count characters differently?
X counts most characters as 1, but URLs are shortened to a fixed length regardless of the original URL length. This tool counts raw characters, so adjust if your text includes URLs.
Why does Instagram allow 2,200 characters but only show part of the caption?
Instagram often truncates captions in the feed after the opening text and shows a “more” link. The full limit applies to the caption itself.
What is a meta description character limit?
Search results often display only part of a meta description. Keeping it concise helps avoid truncation.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text is never uploaded.
Does it support Japanese and other languages?
Yes. The character count is Unicode-aware and works with Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Arabic, and other scripts.
Can I use this on mobile?
