What is Character Counter?
Character Counter delivers precision character count metrics for writing within strict length constraints. It breaks down counts by characters with spaces, characters without spaces, alphabetical letters, numeric digits, and punctuation marks, with visual meters for Twitter, SMS, and SEO meta tags.
Unlike legacy online utilities that upload sensitive media and documents to remote cloud storage, Shadow Toolkit executes this entire operation directly within your browser's local runtime. Your raw data never crosses the network.
