💡 Pro Tips

  • Use 'Ignore Whitespace' when counting characters for coding or when spaces shouldn't count toward your total.
  • The 'Stop counting at' feature is perfect for checking if your text will fit within character limits for social media platforms.
  • For SEO title tag optimization, use the counter without any filters to stay within recommended character limits.
  • When counting words that contain special formatting, use the ignore options to count only the characters that matter to you.
  • The processed text preview helps you understand exactly what's being counted after all your filters are applied.

🛠️ Having Trouble?

  • Unexpected Character Count: If your count seems off, check if any filters are enabled. The processed text preview shows exactly what's being counted.
  • Filter Conflicts: Enabling too many filters might result in very little text to count. Use the processed text preview to see what remains after filtering.
  • Performance with Large Text: For very large text, the counter may take a moment to update. Be patient or try breaking your text into smaller sections.
