Letter Counter tallies letters, characters, and spaces as you type so you can see whether a caption, meta field, or username still fits platform limits.
Paste into the input and read the live counters plus limit guides for channels like meta titles, tweets, and video titles shown on the page.
Built for short-form constraints where a handful of characters decide whether a field truncates in the wild.

FAQ
What is the difference between letters and characters?
Letters typically exclude spaces and punctuation depending on the metric rows shown; characters usually include more of the raw string.
Where is counting done?
In your browser as you type. Text is not uploaded to BeeForge for counting.
Are limits exact for every locale?
Platforms differ by product and alphabet. Confirm in the destination UI when stakes are high.
Does it count HTML tags?
It counts the text you paste. Strip tags first if you only care about visible copy.
Can I export a report?
Use the on-screen totals; copy them into your checklist manually.
