🔍 What Is a Character Counter?

A character counter is a tool that calculates how many characters exist in a block of text.
This includes:

• letters
• numbers
• symbols
• punctuation
• spaces (optional)

The Tooladex Character Counter updates live as you type, so you always know exactly how long your text is.

🧠 Why Character Limits Exist

Character limits are enforced across almost every digital platform:

• social media posts
• SEO titles and meta descriptions
• form inputs
• SMS and messaging apps
• programming constraints
• database fields
• advertising platforms

Exceeding these limits can cause:

• truncated text
• rejected submissions
• formatting errors
• SEO penalties
• broken layouts

A character counter removes the guesswork.
