Frequently asked questions

Does the character counter include spaces?

It shows both. "Characters" includes every space and line break; "Characters (no spaces)" strips all whitespace so you see only letters, digits, and punctuation.

Why count characters instead of words for SEO?

Search engines and social cards truncate by characters, not words. A meta title is typically clipped around 50–60 characters, so character count is the limit that actually gets cut off in the results.

Are newlines counted as characters?

Yes. A line break is one character, so pasted multi-line text includes those characters in the total. The without-spaces count removes them along with spaces and tabs.

Is my text uploaded when I count characters?

No. Counting runs entirely in your browser as you type, so nothing you paste is sent anywhere.
