Frequently asked
Where do these character limits come from?
They're the commonly published limits for each platform or field, such as 280 characters for an X post or 60 characters for an SEO meta title. Platforms occasionally adjust their limits, so treat these as reliable guidelines rather than guarantees.
Does this count words too?
Yes, a word count is shown alongside the character count, based on whitespace-separated words.
Why is Facebook's limit listed as "recommended"?
Facebook allows very long posts, but shorter posts (under roughly 477 characters) tend to get better engagement before being truncated behind a "See more" link, so that's the number used here.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is counted locally in your browser.
