How to use it
Type or paste your text into the box. As you write, ToolFern counts your characters,words and lines, then shows a table of common platforms with thecharacters remaining for each. When your text goes over a platform’s limit, that row turns red and tells you exactly how many characters you are over, so you know precisely how much to trim.
The limits we check
We track the limits people bump into most often: Twitter/X (280 characters),Instagram caption (2,200), Instagram bio (150), a singleSMS (160), the meta description Google typically shows (about 160), and the title tag (around 60 before it gets truncated in search results). These are practical guidelines that help your text display cleanly across the web and social apps.
Is my text private?
Completely. Unlike many online counters, nothing you type is sent anywhere — all counting happensinside your browser. Your unpublished post, caption or confidential messagenever leaves your device, and there is no sign-up or upload.
Frequently asked questions
Is my text uploaded?
No — it’s counted in your browser and never sent to a server.
Do emojis count as one character?
This tool counts characters the way JavaScript does, so most emojis count as one or two characters. Some platforms count them differently, so treat the numbers as a close guide.
Why does the title tag limit say 60?
Search engines usually display roughly the first 60 characters of a title before cutting it off, so staying under 60 keeps your full title visible.
