Frequently asked questions

Does my text leave my device?

No. Your text never leaves the device. All counting runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded or saved.

How are emoji and spaces counted?

When Intl.Segmenter is available, each grapheme cluster counts as one character, including combined emoji and accented letters. Older browsers count Unicode code points instead. Without spaces excludes all whitespace, including tabs and line breaks.

Are platform limits exact?

The bars compare your character count with common limits. Platforms may use their own rules for links, emoji and encoding. SMS may allow fewer characters with Unicode text; title tags and meta descriptions are guidelines, not fixed display widths.
