Frequently Asked Character Count Questions
Different platforms and applications use different counting methods. For example, some coding environments or SMS systems count every byte, including spaces. SEO meta tags are typically limited by pixel width, which often correlates closely with a character-with-spaces count. Our tool provides both to cover all use cases.
While word count is the standard metric, the general consensus for SEO purposes is that longer content (1,500 - 2,500 words) tends to rank better for competitive topics as it allows for more in-depth coverage. However, quality always trumps quantity. Focus on answering the user's intent completely.
Your text is 100% safe and private. All the counting and analysis happen entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. No content is ever uploaded, stored, or seen by us. You can even disconnect from the internet after loading the page, and the tool will continue to work perfectly.
Our "Reading Time" is based on the industry standard average reading speed of 225 words per minute. The "Speaking Time" is calculated based on an average speaking rate of 125 words per minute for a typical presentation or conversational pace.
'Characters (w/ Spaces)' is the total count of every single keystroke, including letters, numbers, spaces, punctuation, and special symbols. 'Letters' is a count of only the alphabetical characters (A-Z and a-z). The difference between the two gives you a quick idea of how much of your text is composed of non-alphabetic elements like numbers, symbols, and formatting spaces.
