About Character Counter

Character Counter gives you a precise character count with and without spaces, along with word and line totals. It is perfect for tweets, SMS, bios and any field with a strict character limit.

Character Counter is one of dozens of free text tools on Crystal Toolkit. When you open this page, the tool loads in your browser and is ready to use immediately — there is nothing to install and no account to create. Everything you enter is handled locally using fast, modern web technology, so the work happens on your device rather than on a remote server. This approach keeps your information private, removes upload and download waiting time, and lets the tool keep working even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.

Why use Crystal Toolkit?

Unlike many online text tools, Crystal Toolkit runs Character Counter entirely inside your browser. That means your data is processed on your own device and is never uploaded to a server, so it stays private and the results appear instantly. There is no sign-up, no daily limit and no watermark — just a fast, focused character counter you can use as often as you like, on desktop or mobile. Crystal Toolkit is built and maintained by CrystalSoftonic and is funded by unobtrusive ads, which is how we keep every tool completely free.
