SEO Character Counter — Frequently Asked Questions

What character limits does it enforce?

Title 60 characters, meta description 160, Twitter title 70, Twitter description 200 — based on each platform's truncation point.

Does it count pixels or characters?

Both. Google truncates by pixel width, so the counter shows characters and pixel-width estimates side by side.

Is there a limit on how much I can paste?

No. Paste any length of text and the counter will report breakdowns for each SEO field.
