Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the character counting?
Our character counter uses Unicode-aware algorithms that match how social media platforms count characters. This includes proper handling of emojis, special characters, and multi-byte Unicode characters that some tools may count incorrectly.
Are the social media character limits up to date?
Yes, we regularly update our platform character limits to reflect the latest changes from Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, and other major platforms. Character limits are verified against official platform documentation and testing.
What's the difference between characters with and without spaces?
"Characters with spaces" counts every character including spaces, punctuation, and line breaks. "Characters without spaces" excludes whitespace characters and is useful for content where only visible characters matter.
Can I share my character count results?
Absolutely! You can generate shareable links that include your text and analysis results. This is perfect for collaborative writing projects or getting feedback on your content length.
How do you calculate reading and speaking time?
Reading time is calculated at 200 words per minute (average adult reading speed), while speaking time uses 150 words per minute (standard presentation pace). These rates are based on communication research and industry standards.
Is there a limit to how much text I can analyze?
There are no artificial limits on text length. Our tool can handle everything from short social media posts to long-form articles and documents, providing accurate character counting for content of any size.
