## Write to the Limit, Never Over It

AiLoveKit's **character counter** tracks counts with and without spaces as you type, then shows live progress bars against the limits that actually matter: X posts (280), SMS (160), SEO title tags (60), and meta descriptions (155). Go over and the bar turns red with the exact overshoot.

## What Gets Counted

- **Characters** - with and without whitespace.

- **Words, lines, sentences** - full context alongside the character math.

- **Platform budgets** - remaining-character readouts update on every keystroke.

Need reading time too? The [Reading Time Calculator](https://www.ailovekit.com/text/reading-time-calculator/) covers that.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Do spaces count as characters?**

Both numbers are shown: total characters include spaces, and a separate no-spaces count excludes them.

**Which platform limits are tracked?**

X/Twitter posts (280), SMS (160), SEO title tags (60), and meta descriptions (155).

**Is my text stored anywhere?**

No - counting happens live in your browser and nothing is transmitted or saved.
