About this tool

Paste your draft and every number that matters updates as you type: characters, characters without spaces, words, sentences, paragraphs, and lines. Below the totals, four limit bars track the ceilings real platforms enforce — the 280-character X post, the 160-character single SMS segment, and the 160 and 60 character meta description and title tags that Google actually displays. Each bar fills green, turns amber near the cap, and goes red with an over-by count the moment you exceed it, so trimming is a glance instead of a guess. Social media managers, SEO writers, and anyone fighting a bio field use it daily, and because every keystroke is counted locally in your browser, confidential drafts never leave the tab. Your file never leaves this page — processing runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded and the data is dropped from memory when you close the tab.
