Social networks enforce hard character caps. A dedicated counter helps you trim hooks, hashtags, and links without guessing in the compose box.
TextTools updates counts as you type, shows common platform limits, and includes an X-style preview so you can see overflow before posting.
Tips
- Count characters with spaces if the network’s compose box does — most do for X and Instagram.
- Put the link and hashtags in early so you know how much room is left for the main message.
- Emoji can count as more than one character in some apps; verify in preview if the post is tight.
