Platform Character Limit Checker
Every major platform has different character limits: Twitter/X allows 280 characters, Instagram captions allow 2,200, LinkedIn posts allow 3,000, WhatsApp messages allow 65,536, SMS allows 160, meta descriptions should be 120–160 characters, and Google Ads headlines are capped at 30. This tool shows your current character count against every platform limit simultaneously with a colour-coded progress bar — turning red when you approach the limit.
Reading Time, Speaking Time & Readability
Reading time uses 238 words per minute, the standard used by Medium and most publishing platforms. Speaking time uses 130 WPM — useful for presentations, speeches and YouTube scripts. The Flesch–Kincaid readability score shows how easy your text is to understand, ranging from Very Easy (score 90–100) to Very Difficult (below 30, suited for academics and legal documents).
