Count characters live as you type — with a 280-character progress bar for X (Twitter) posts.

0 / 280

How it works

  1. Type or paste your text into the box.
  2. Watch the live counts update — characters, characters without spaces, words, and lines.
  3. Use the 280-character progress bar to check X (Twitter) post length.
  4. Use Clear to start over, or Copy Text to copy your text.

Example

Input: “Hello world”
Output: 11 characters, 10 characters (no spaces), 2 words, 1 line — 11 / 280 on the progress bar.

Tips

  • The bar turns amber near the limit and red when you go over 280.
  • Use it to check tweet, bio, or headline lengths.
  • Line breaks count as characters.
  • Everything runs locally — your text stays private.

FAQ

Why 280 characters?

That is the current post limit on X (Twitter).

Do spaces count?

Yes. The main count includes spaces; a separate count excludes them.

What happens if I go over 280?

The progress bar turns red so you know to shorten the text.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. It never leaves your browser.
