What is Character Counter?
Character Counter is a free online tool that lets you quickly measure text length directly in your browser. It's perfect for drafting reports, writing blog posts, checking SNS post limits (like Twitter/X), and even detecting hidden full-width spaces that often cause errors in programming or data entry.
Key Features
- Real-time Measurement: Every keystroke updates all values instantly.
- Full-width Space Detection: Specifically identifies and counts hard-to-find full-width spaces.
- Privacy-Focused: Your text is never sent to a server. Everything happens locally in your browser, making it safe for confidential drafts.
- No Installation Required: Works seamlessly on PC, smartphones, and tablets via any modern browser.
How to Use
- Type or paste the text you want to count into the central text area.
- The "Total Characters," "Characters without spaces," "Full-width spaces," "Lines," and "Manuscript Pages (400 chars)" will be calculated automatically.
- If needed, drag the bottom-right corner of the text area to resize it.
