Frequently Asked Questions
Character Counter breaks a text down into multiple stats (with/without spaces, words, sentences). This tool gives just two numbers — character length and UTF-8 byte size — with no other breakdown.

No — unlike [Meta Title Length Checker](/tool/meta-title-length-checker) and [Meta Description Counter](/tool/meta-description-counter), which share this same underlying code but apply 65- and 160-character limits respectively, this tool reports raw length only.
