Character Counter is an online tool that calculates character count, word count, line count, and byte count in real-time. Perfect for checking character limits on blog posts, social media, and documents.
Bytes are calculated using UTF-8 encoding. ASCII characters (letters, numbers, symbols) use 1 byte, while most non-ASCII characters use 2-4 bytes. Emojis may use 4 or more bytes.
To maintain performance, the maximum input is 100,000 characters. For longer texts, we recommend splitting them into smaller sections.
