Check text length before trimming or publishing

Use this length check when you want to verify titles, descriptions, social posts, prompts, or form text before publishing. If the result is too long, move to Text Truncator, Remove Extra Spaces, or Trim Lines. If the content is really a row list, switch to Line Counter instead.

5 focused answers for this page

What is the difference between text length and character count?

Text length usually means the total number of visible characters in your text, including spaces and line breaks. This tool also shows no-space characters, words, lines, and bytes.

Do spaces and line breaks count in text length?

Yes. Spaces and line breaks are included in the total text length, and you can use the no-space character count when you want to ignore them.

Can I check a custom character limit?

Yes. Enter any custom character limit to see the percentage used, remaining characters, and characters over the limit.

Does it count emoji and accented letters correctly?

The character count uses Unicode-aware counting for visible characters and separately reports UTF-8 bytes for systems that care about storage size.

Does this text length calculator upload my text?

No. Text length calculations run locally in your browser and do not send pasted content to ClearUtils servers.
