About this calculator
Drafts, bios, and meta tags have hard caps. Paste the text and read characters with and without spaces, word tokens, sentences, paragraphs, lines, and UTF-8 bytes. Reading time assumes 200 words per minute. SMS (160), a short post (280), an SEO title (60), and a meta description (155) show how close you are to each cap.
How It Works & Formula
Characters are Unicode scalars (so Café is 4). Words are whitespace-separated tokens. Bytes use UTF-8, so one accented letter can be two bytes. Reading minutes = words / 200.
