Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs online free with FreeToolBox's Word Counter — the essential tool for writers, students, bloggers, and SEO professionals who need to meet word count requirements or check content length.

Both. The tool displays character count with spaces (total characters) and without spaces (non-whitespace only). Twitter/X character limits include spaces; some platforms count without.
