Frequently asked questions
How are characters counted?
We count what you actually see: each emoji, accented letter or symbol counts as one character (Unicode graphemes). Note that some platforms count differently internally, for example X counts most emoji as two characters and shortens every link to 23 characters.
With spaces or without?
Both values are shown side by side. Most platform limits, including X and Instagram, count spaces, so the main "Characters" number is the one to watch.
Is my text stored or uploaded?
No. Counting runs in your browser and the text never leaves the page. Closing the tab removes it.
