    Why character count matters

    Characters with vs. without spaces

    Most platforms count whitespace as characters; some SMS gateways do not. Textorum.io shows both numbers so you always know which limit applies.

    Common character limits to remember

    Twitter/X: 280. Meta titles: 60. Meta descriptions: 155–160. SMS: 160 per segment. Instagram captions: 2,200.

    Why writing to a character limit improves clarity

    Tight constraints force you to remove filler and pick the strongest verbs. A character counter is a clarity tool as much as a length tool.
