Word Counter & Character Counter with Limits

How results are produced

Characters use visible grapheme clusters. Whitespace-free counts exclude tabs and line breaks. Bytes use UTF-8. Submission platforms may count differently. Text is never automatically truncated.

Worked example

Set a 500-character target to check remaining space. Add a section to count each response separately.

How to use

Paste text and choose characters or words.
Set a target and add sections if needed.
Review the highlighted overflow, then copy or save.

PUT IT TO USE

Check a short response against its character limit

A form may ask for characters rather than words. Choose the matching measure before editing to fit.

Paste sample text and choose Characters with spaces.
Enter a target of 500 to see the remaining space or highlighted overflow.
Add another section if two responses have separate limits.

Check a short response against its character limit: Baro Calculators example screen with sample inputs and results — Illustrative example screen using sample data. A receiving platform may use a different counting rule. Check its own counter before submission.
