Review input limits
Check titles, meta descriptions, SMS text, and notification copy before submitting text with strict limits.
Character Counter
브라우저 내부 처리
Counts characters with and without spaces, words, sentences and paragraphs as you type.
Text statistics workflow
Application essays and reports usually come with a character limit, and organisations differ on whether spaces count — which is why both figures are shown together. Word, sentence and paragraph counts, manuscript pages and byte length are included too, so the same screen works for SMS limits and database column constraints. Everything recalculates as you type, so you can trim while watching the number.
Estimate draft size
Understand the length of blog drafts, guides, and notices through reading time and line count.
Inspect pasted text
Review line breaks and spacing from copied documents before editing or publishing.
Errors you will hit
Another tool reports a different count
Tools differ on whether spaces and line breaks count. For anything with a hard limit, check which rule the destination uses first.
Word counts across languages
Word counting is usually space based. Languages that attach particles or do not separate words with spaces will not line up with English word counts.
Emoji count as two characters
Some emoji are stored as more than one code unit. A single visible glyph can add more than one to the length.
Things to check
Korean word count is approximate
Korean word counts depend heavily on spacing. Treat them as a quick length signal, not morphological analysis.
Reading time is an estimate
Reading speed varies by audience, difficulty, and code blocks. Use the estimate as a planning signal.
Application character limits vary
Employers differ on whether spaces count, and the value the application system computes is the one that binds. The with-spaces count is usually the stricter one, so fitting that number satisfies both.
Emoji count as two characters
JavaScript string length counts UTF-16 units, so a single emoji counts as two — more for combining sequences or skin-tone variants. This matters when working with SMS limits or input constraints.
Reading time is an estimate
It assumes about 200 words per minute. Technical writing and code read much slower, while skimming is faster. Use it as a rough label rather than presenting it as a precise metric.

How to use it
- Paste the text you want to inspect.
- Review character count, word count, line count, and reading time.
- For strict limits, compare whether the target service counts spaces or line breaks.
- For long documents, split by section to tune length and reading time.
