Text Length Counter
About Text Length Counter
This tool helps you measure the length of your text in various units. Understanding text length is crucial for many development and content creation tasks.
What do these measurements mean?
📊 Characters
The total number of characters in your text, including spaces, punctuation, and line breaks. Useful for social media posts (Twitter/X has a 280 character limit) and form validation.
✂️ Characters (without spaces)
The character count excluding all whitespace characters. Some platforms and requirements count only non-space characters for length limits.
💾 Bytes
The size of your text in bytes when encoded in UTF-8. Important for database storage, API payloads, and network transfer. Note that special characters and emojis can take multiple bytes.
📦 Kilobytes
The size in kilobytes (1 KB = 1024 bytes). Useful for understanding file sizes and meeting size restrictions for uploads or transmissions.
Pro Tip: Multi-byte characters like emojis (😀) or non-Latin scripts (中文, العربية) count as 1 character but take up multiple bytes in UTF-8 encoding. This is why the byte count can be much larger than the character count.
