Character Counter
Count characters with and without spaces and see at a glance whether your text fits X, Instagram, LinkedIn, SMS, or Google's title and description limits.

Fit every character limit
Every platform has its own limit: 280 characters for a post on X, 160 for an SMS, about 60 for a Google title and 155–160 for a meta description, 2,200 for an Instagram caption. The VirtuaChat Character Counter shows your count live and checks it against all of them at once.
You'll see characters with and without spaces, letters, digits, spaces, words and lines, plus a colour-coded bar for each platform so you know instantly whether you fit, are close or are over. SMS counting also shows how many message segments your text would use.
It runs in your browser, so it's instant and private.
