How to count characters
Type or paste your text. The counts update as you type: characters with and without spaces, words, lines and bytes.
Pick a limit, such as an X post (280) or a meta description (160), to see how many characters are left. The bar turns orange near the limit and red when you go over.
SMS length
One SMS holds 160 plain English characters. With Urdu letters or emoji it holds 70, and longer messages are split into parts of 153 or 67. Choose SMS to see how many parts your message takes.
Why does an emoji count as one?
Pockit counts what you see. Some emoji are made of several codes, and some apps count those separately, so their numbers can be a little higher.
Is my text saved or uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to Pockit or anyone else.
