Social Media Character Counter

Free marketing tools / Cordell Digital

Check the copy before you paste it.

Count characters, words and lines without uploading your text. Use the verified YouTube limits or enter the limit for the platform and field you are preparing.

Your inputs

Used only when Custom is selected. Check the target platform’s current rules.

Check the right field’s limit

A video title, description, caption and ad headline can each have a different limit. The built-in YouTube presets use its published 100-character title and 5,000-character description limits. For other fields, choose Custom and enter the relevant limit.

Emoji and links can change platform counts

The primary count treats each Unicode code point as one character. UTF-16 units are also shown because some systems count text differently. A multi-part emoji can contain several code points while looking like one symbol.

This does not reproduce X’s weighted URL and emoji rules or validate every platform’s language-specific rules. Confirm the final count in the platform editor. Word count is based on whitespace-separated text; it is not a linguistic word-segmentation engine.

This tool processes your inputs in your browser. It does not upload them or keep a server-side input history.
