Count the Characters in a String

This online counter counts all the letters and spaces in a sentence.

It is useful for knowing how many characters are in a text, for example to stay within a character limit in an input field.

What is a character counter for?

Sometimes you need to write a text with a limited number of characters. For example, at school, we had to write short essays. In that case, this character counter can be very useful.

This tool is also useful for web developers who want to check the length of a title or a meta description. To optimize them well, it's best not to exceed a certain number of characters.

Numbers not to exceed for the title and description of a web page!

For the title, it is advisable not to exceed 60 characters. For the description, it is best to stay under 160 characters.
