It instantly calculates characters (with and without spaces) and total byte size, making it perfect for crafting social media posts, SMS messages, or API payloads. Ensure your text fits every time, without the guesswork.
This tool counts every character in real-time. For byte size, it encodes your text in UTF-8 to measure the exact storage space required, which is crucial for handling multi-byte characters like emojis and international symbols.

This tool distinguishes between visual characters and their actual byte size, giving developers and writers the precise information they need.
