Why Use a Character Counter?

How Does the Character Counter Work?

Pro Tip: Character Counting with Spaces
Most social media platforms and character-limited forms (like meta descriptions) count spaces as characters. Always use the "Total Characters" metric to ensure you comply with their strict validation rules.
