Character counter for SEO snippets, captions, and short-form copy
Use this character counter to check titles, meta descriptions, captions, bios, and other short-form copy where length limits matter more than total word count. Everything updates in your browser, so drafts do not need to be uploaded.

The Instrument
Chapter I ยท Counting
Paste shorter copy here and the ledger updates at once. Use the total character count for drafting references, the no-space count for tighter copy comparisons, and the word count when a short field also has editorial guidelines. For search copy, move a title draft into the meta title length checker or a snippet draft into the meta description character counter.

Common short-copy drafting references
Use these as planning categories, not guaranteed platform limits.
SEO title draft: compare compact page-title variants before previewing the final title.
Meta description draft: check whether the summary is concise before testing the snippet.
Social caption draft: compare a short caption against a longer story version.
Profile bio draft: keep the core identity and call to action visible.
Ad copy draft: trim headline and short-description phrasing before campaign setup.
