Character Counter

Simply paste or type your text into the text area. The character counter will automatically display the total number of characters, including or excluding spaces, in real-time as you type.

Characters with spaces count every character including space bars. Characters without spaces only count letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, excluding all whitespace. Use "without spaces" when you need to count actual content characters only.
