About CharCount.tools

What is CharCount.tools?

CharCount.tools is a free online character counter built for writers, social media managers, and content creators who need to know exactly how their text fits across different platforms. Unlike basic character counters, CharCount.tools shows you your character count against 8 real platform limits simultaneously — Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Meta Description, SMS, TikTok, and YouTube. Each limit bar updates in real time as you type, turning yellow when you're approaching the limit and red when you're over.
