Character Counter

When you have a lot to say,
but are constrained by a character limit.

This form helps me draft replies to online forms that have a character limit.

To use it, enter the character limit that you need to be constrained to, and then type your text into the form. As you type, you will see color-coded warnings letting you know when you are nearing your character limit.

FAQs

What is this for?

It's for me! But you can use it too, if you want.

I made this form for me, because when I fill out an online form that has a character limit, I get stressed out because I don't know how many characters I have available until I submit the form. And if I guess wrong, all my work gets erased!

This form takes away that stress.

Now I draft my text here, and then copy-and-paste into the online form.

Who can use this?

Anyone! The only purpose of this is to draft replies when you are concerned about running into character limits (like on X.com or on government feedback forms), and want to massage your text.

Is this safe? What do you do with the text I type?

I do not collect or save the data you type into the form.

Once you click on the "Reset form" button, or you close this webpage, then the text is gone forever.
